Vanaf 12 juni presenteert Fotomuseum Hilversum Mother Song II, een nieuwe locatie-specifieke installatie van de Nederlandse kunstenaar Wineke Gartz (Eindhoven, 1968). Voor de tentoonstelling werkte Gartz een maand lang op locatie in het museum aan een meeslepende multimediale installatie waarin videoprojecties, fotografie, geluid, textiel en architectonische elementen samenkomen. Mother Song II is een spiritueel werk over actie, stilte en beweging. Het draait om activisme, maar vooral om de innerlijke conflicten die mensen ervaren in tijden van oorlog en verzet.

feestelijke opening op vrijdag 12 juni vanaf 19.00 uur.

De tentoonstelling is tijdens reguliere openingstijden te zien t/m 18 oktober 2026.

How do you mourn the loss of a loved one?

You eat their favourite food. You listen to their favourite songs. You isolate yourself in the company of your memories, careful not to loose a single detail of their existence.

Sorrow weighs heavy on the heart. Time feels impenetrable, as if it is impossible to overcome.

And then one day a window opens, like a small crack letting the outside world enter your universe. Once again.

This is life. Full of continuous curves, and emotions that give them colour.
