An increasingly uncertain future has seen many people journey online for answers. With the surge of fringe political identities gaining mainstream popularity in the Netherlands over the past few years, the separation between the online and offline worlds has dissolved.
'Pol/der' merges feverish memetic imagery, drawn from online communities, with a traditional symbol of Dutch heritage. This fringe internet ephemera is made tangible as a way to explore the emergence of conspiracy as collective myth-making — or, shared fictions that make themselves real.
Delft Pol/der is a series of over 120 tiles. A small selection of signed, editioned works are made available here.
