The Institute of Misinformation

The Institute of Misinformation is an ongoing research-based project I started in Spring 2017, to research the effects of graphic design in relation to the authority of signs and symbols and how those influence our behavior.

Soft Series: Brass Knuckles

As part of the Soft Series I made hand-sewn satin brass knuckles. On the inside there's a lead rope filling, so the knuckles keep their shape. The photos above and below are available as prints on aluminum.

Soft Series: P7

As part of the Soft Series I made a hand-sewn replica of the Heckler&Koch P7 gun. The gun is made out of satin and filled with sesame seeds and dried lavender, just to add some scent. The photos above and below are available as prints on aluminum.

Soft Series: Naval Mine

As part of the Soft Series and as part of my artist-in-residence at Kunsthal45, Den Helder I made a partially hand-sewn scale 1:1 transparant naval mine. The mine is made from transparant rainbow organza, transparant busks and multi-coloured nylon sewing thread.
