Marieke Vermij

Marieke Vermij is an artist specializing in music, sound, producing, filmmaking and performance. Her audio-visual installation is focussing on activating the experience of harmony by showcasing rhythmic patterns as a rooted essence within life. Calling upon the awareness of interconnectedness, her research focusses on rhythm in the musical sense, with an addition of images. This to suggest that life can be seen as a composition where each element and its self-expression plays a role and has its own function within a formed wholeness.

As I believe that freedom and space for self-expression is fundamental in order to create awareness about individual potential and to understand contribution in a whole, it is to learn how to sense and embrace the nature of the things around us, which are inevitably connected to and rooted within ourselves.

It is rhythm with deep sensitivity that is changing, adapting, reacting, connecting, continuously overlapping. Connecting us all like the water that runs through all our veins and our hearts that give the beat for all our dreams. It is experience in the moment which lets us grow through a continues interaction with our surroundings.

Every day you brush your teeth,

Every day, you go to sleep and wake up from somewhere deep.

Every day the sun goes up, the sun goes down, to make place for the moon to shine her light.

Every month, the moon is full and has turned around the earth.

Autumn, winter, spring and summer, autumn, winter, spring and summer, autumn, winter, spring and summer, autumn, birds flying south.

Flapping their wings, pumping the blood through their veins, to fly, to live, to be.

That heartbeat we all share, that rhythm that keeps flowing, unconditionally growing and dissolving.

Unconditional embrace of change, watching this place.

No grieve, no loss, just the moment we met, as grieve is love in a process.

Turn it around, take a breath, feel this rhythm and its strength, a warm embrace.

No end, the end, birth and death, start again.
