Glimpse of the Past / Trace KON:18

Glimpses of the past, fragments of daily life. Establishing a visual dialogue between then and now.


Ceramics have existed for thousands of years. Today, the act of standing on the same soil and being able to make contact with these ancient ceramics can be seen as a collision of the past and present. The project ‘glimpse of the past’ is a derivative from the research ‘Trace KON:18’, which is based on ceramic fragments that archeologist dug out from the 10th to 13th century in Arnhem. Out of this results a series of ceramic collections that are inspired by traditional craft and created through the use of modern techniques like the ceramic 3D printer.
