‘11 Hours of Clouds’ is the umbrella title for a collection of works which happen either inside the airplane, in actual flights between Amsterdam and Guayaquil. Or works that happen later, down from the sky, back in continental land but inhabiting the mental space of the airplane, a space of suspension, perspective and fluid thinking like clouds. 

The title came to me after one flight when I attempted to do a print that would be as big as the Atlantic ocean itself, meaning a print that would be 11 hours long. The process of dying napkins and toilet paper rolls on board of the flight KL 751 concluded in a series of colorful toilet paper/napkin collages called ‘Clouds’, as well as a photocollage series that narrate a story in the airplane and document the process of dying toilet paper on board. Each window/photo is printed in rounded edged A3 photo paper and mounted in hard board. This process is also inseparable from the performative installation happening in the airplane in a flight between Amsterdam and Guayaquil.
