Out of Joint
To be disorientated is to lose one’s bearings in the space one inhabits. While this is most often a bodily sensation, many have experienced a similar feeling of unease over the past few years in adapting to the new narratives, attitudes and frictions that have arisen in the face of global crisis. Taking the biennale and its venue as a site of global representation, the Dutch pavilion aims to manifest a process of disorientation and reorientation as a site-specific installation of commissioned fragments to be scattered throughout the space of Somerset House. As ambiguous forms that can be reinterpreted and recontextualised, each fragment will be offered to other pavilions and communal spaces as potential new anchor points for facilitating moments of gathering, discussion and reorientation. Thus, through the dissolution of the Dutch Pavilion, new relationships and narratives might be formed.
