Stone Pillows, Series III – Green, 2026
Exhibition from Feb 28th – March 8th 2026
With Stone Pillows, Tina van de Weyer continues her artistic research at the intersection of image, material, and space. The textile objects draw on the structures and surfaces of rock formations, translating photographic imagery into a tactile, sculptural presence. Oscillating between natural reference and artificial artifact, hybrid forms emerge that question our notions of landscape, memory, and projection.
Within the project space of the Forplay Society, the installation is conceived as a mutable constellation: the “stone pillows” are repeatedly rearranged and respond to external influences — to light, atmosphere, architectural conditions, or impulses from outside. The work is not understood as a static object but as a processual setting that evolves situationally and continuously transforms.
Through the use of fluorescent materials and luminous layers of color, an additional visual dimension unfolds. Light becomes an active agent, intensifying the immersive quality of the installation and generating moments suspended between reality and illusion. The vibrant, pulsating color fields subtly reference psychedelic visual strategies and evoke associations with utopian community concepts that emerged in India during the 1960s and 1970s, exploring alternative ways of living.
A collaboration with artists or collectives working on site is explicitly envisioned. Stone Pillows can open up, attach, overlap — entering into dialogue with other positions. The work thus becomes part of an experimental exchange in which space, material, and perception are continuously renegotiated.
