TWENTY YEARS LATER

If we were to learn from our elders, what will we nurture?

In ‘Twenty years later’ Alida Glasbeek (1994) investigates the coming of age of her older generations (1930, 1949, 1971).
The historical relation of our elders time with the present is fundamental. It deeply influences how passed and new events will leave their mark, and how we will set course for the future.

_{This installation tells the stories of 4 generations.
Painfully personal and sometimes relatable; each one of them tells about what marked them most in their coming of age. The stories accompanied by found historical sound and video footage, personal pictures and voices are woven together in their 3D scanned bodies. As animated monuments of time they are portrayed in a life-sized projection. The viewer can discover the images in the details of their bodies and find the connections referred to in their narratives. With every revisition comes to light that all generation’s excerpts bear a lesson for the future and their experiences will be passed on, one way or another.
