(RE)COVERED

2008-2022

The work (RE)COVERED consists of medals wrapped and sewed in soft, black felt. The medals are trophies from completed hikes. Each of the medals in (RE)COVERED was once awarded to a person to commemorate an event in their life. The collection of medals visualises a collective (support) system, in which it is not the individual but the shared achievement that is paramount. The awarding of the medal is a means of giving concentrated attention to a specific experience at a given moment in time. By disguising several such mementos and presenting them collectively as an installation, the work alludes to shared time, memory and attention.
