The body of work of Akunzo (Karola Pezarro & Aris de Bakker) consists mostly of ephemeral, site-specific projects, in which natural materials are used. The projects of Akunzo have a strong commitment to the environment.

I consider myself as a multifaceted artist. Well, I’m not a purist like those who use to work exclusively with natural materials - The term art itself comes from artificiality and allows whatever type of artistic expression. I use to integrate recycled materials in my works, giving them a new life this way, but always keeping the aesthetics in mind and avoiding a trash look.

Janet Botes (1984-) is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work is guided by natural cycles and inspired by the biodiversity of the Earth.

I am an artist interested in standing out the beauty and poetry of impermanence and ephemerality linked to our everyday experiences and natural processes. Usually installed in open spaces, my work is made to change and adapt to the places and nature it is surrounded by. Nature has always the last word on my work.

On-Site Poetry is an art project by writer Nick J. Swarth and typographic designer Sander Neijnens. Together they create poems that are inspired by a specific location. The texts, as well as the way they are 'written', interact with the site where the poem is built. On-site poems are made as art works in public space, for land art exhibitions, festivals or events.
