The work is based on the film Die verlohrene Ehre der Katharina Blum. A film by Margarethe von Trotta and Volker Schlöndorff (1975), written by Heinrich Böll and first published in 1974. The work is part of my contribution to the Linking Worlds project. Accompanying a poem called Rethink Reframe. Film and book are still relevant today - or rather again - in a time of 'post-truth', social media trolls and resurgent misogyny. Protest art In a broader sense, the work poses the question of how someone wants to relate to the problem. Will someone accept that they view freedom of expression ad absurdum and thus possibly even endanger others by tacitly accepting such practices. So ask yourself in the mirror: Who are you? Do you dare to be the pacesetter, the one who dare to advocate a different attitude: approach him or her or them in an unbiased and impartial manner, and to act accordingly to that yourself to let the other be himself. At the same time, it is a warning about how violence can develop and escalate in full force today under the power of the tabloid press and social media. Reused frame. Fabricas de Espajas y Lunas Biseladas (1956)

Mieke van Os is a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on mixed media constructions. She is increasingly working with things she finds in her environment, also from a sustainability point of view. Remnants of a renovation, residual products of casting materials, pieces of stone or wood, strips of textile. It often results in a material treatment or solution that is not immediately obvious and thus gives individuality to her work. She is looking for an unconventional but traditional shape with a twist. She also looks for composition in her sculptures, the separation of surface and color, as she also does as a painter. A way of working to study form more carefully, visually explore the new topography and rediscover familiar materials. In her work she wants to express something intangible, an atmosphere, a feeling. Her sources of inspiration are very variable and versatile. Whether a work was made 500 years ago or now, she borrows elements from it to do something with it. Ideas also come from the production itself. The work often has a kind of rules and chaos at the same time. At first glance, her work is very diverse. On closer inspection, there is definitely a connecting line. An expression of how the mind reacts to things. Her motto is: “The horizon is infinite, it only knows a limit in ones head. Her goals are to further develop and explore her techniques and to experiment with (sustainable) materials, colors, shapes and sizes (!), in a combination of sculpture, painting, ceramics and textiles; she also wants to focus more on research in working with plant remains and other biomaterials.
