In Control

Title: In Control
Artist: Anne de Vries
Year: 2022
Dimensions: Variable
Material: Fencing, prints on vinyl
Description: The banners on the fencing advertise fictitious future events, featuring real locations and dates.
It remains unclear what these events will exactly entail: a revolution or a party. The visuals are a collage inspired by flyers for Tekno, Hardcore, and Bondage events.
Upon closer inspection, one could notice that the events are taking place at some of the most environmentally destructive corporations’ headquarters.
Where: Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem
