A → A - Pum van de Koppel
Startlocation!
Pum van de Koppel (1999) is from Amsterdam and graduated in 2023 from the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague. In his practice as a visual artist he investigates the poetic potentiality of failure.
For the work ‘From A to A’ Koppel directs his gaze towards his fellow citizens. In the video-installation they are continuously rushing around Dutch railway stations, on the run as if cast in a plotless action movie, already past the awkwardness of poor acting. Their departure and arrival are left out of frame. A climax slips through our fingers with an ongoing stream of running travellers, and it is now the everyday stunt work that deserves full attention.
The video is alternated with the performance ‘I don’t dream, I toss and turn’, for which he choreographs a similarly awkward in-between movement, now framed by a mattress.
The exhibition is made possible with the support of Stroom Den Haag.
