______Works

1. Wellness Centre "Future Proof" is an attempt to reflect and act from the supposition of a ‘potential apocalyptic threat.

2. Wellness Centre "Future Proof" aspires to add an extra but nevertheless essential dimension to the concept of "common sustainability" in our Anthropocene.

3. Wellness Centre "Future Proof" starts from the suggestion that it might be more constructive to look at the world as a place of trauma-processing, instead of "prepping”. We are looking for places (these can also be mental / ideological / imaginary places) where the apocalypse has already occured, and want to think about them as locations of a possible revival.

Wellness Centre Future Proof is a cluster of different intertwined productions, which all investigate the idea of "wellness" as a more commercial variant of "well-being". "Well-being", in turn, is considered to be holistic, something that includes more than just humans.

One of the central questions of Wellness Centre Future Proof is:

"Can I be Well while our world is Sick?"

Attempts to answer this question generate a comprehensive belief system that follows its own logic, and result in hyper-layered installation works that aim at a certain inconvenience for the viewer, and ask questions about climate change, algorithms, and the autonomous thinking power of objects.

Within these installations products are also generated, which on the one hand flirt with regular "beauty products" but on the other function as a talisman to avert the ecological apocalypse that is rushing towards us.

The Open Source is a multi-media installation with a Shell-shaped Fountain, Porcelain Shells and an Audio-guide.

The Story of ‘Water’ and ‘Shell’ are told by tree characters; Eve, Hydra and Snail. They have a discussion about the ‘planetary currents’ in relation to these protagonists.During the audio-guide the Listener is asked to carry a porcelain Shell with them and in his way charge it with its personal energy. At the end of the tour the Listener can choose whether to ‘free’ the Water inside the Shell and release it in the Open Source (from which it originates) or to take it home for ‘personal purposes’. In this way determining whether or not the apocalypse will occur.
