EVA builds a timemachine, 2024
5 weeks residency & exhibition
Vrouw Muskens, Dongen
EVA built a time machine in 5 weeks with found and donated materials from people in Dongen. Since 2020 Schippers builds her installations in this way, recently she builded a spaceship, 2 lighthouses, a catapult chair and a meteor viewer. During the launchevent of the timemachine on June 30th, people could take a one-time trip to a moment of their choice in the past or present: What time would you like to go to if you could choose? By building these installations and asking people this question, it challenges people to stand still and think for a moment about their life, choices and possibilities.
