Literally Anything overlays my personal life with global events and ponders how to make sense of both intimate and broadcasted experiences. The prints, collages and aluminium objects I present scramble public coverage with private meaning through type, texture and colour — contrasting global news headlines with private quotes of for instance friends, family, and my therapist. Therefore Literally Anything is about language: how we use statements, quotes, motto’s, puns and other expressions to package our experience of things that happen around us. At the same time Literally Anything is about format: how we understand the visual codes and templates through which we engage with language. I take language out of the conventional formats that separate the private from the public. Whether it is a bold news headline taken from the Washington Post frontpage, or a private whatsapp message sent by my mom, Literally Anything is a space in which their usual hierarchy is broken — however messy, overblown, or peculiar that may be.
