In 2023, Amsterdam narrowly escaped a flood: a malfunction at the IJmuiden sluices meant the water couldn't be pumped out. For a moment, the future arrived early.

Floodlight takes you into that future. You see weathered canva ses — fabrics that have themselves passed through water, dipped in tidal c lay, threaded with metal wire that rusted in brackish tides, left at the f lood line where seaweed, fishing line and plastic gather and dry. Onto the se surfaces, altered underwater footage is projected: images from the Amst erdam canals, the Oosterdok and the wider Dutch coast, animated into the s ensation of looking up from the seabed as light filters down. The city car ries on, changed and slowly overgrown.

A spatial composition made fr om hydrophone recordings surrounds the space: rain on the surface, frogs i n the Oostenburgervaart, the muffled rumble of trains and ships, seaweed c rackling at low tide, a fog buoy, a shipping forecast drifting in from a d istant radio station.

The traces of water are already in the canvase s. The projected images don't erase them but grow out of them — an imagine d ecology layered onto material shaped by time and tide.

Floodli ght was developed and first presented at Mediamatic.

By Marjoli jn Boterenbrood & Mark IJzerman.

A continuous installation can b e found downstairs at the entrance to Tolhuistuin.

Marjolij n Boterenbrood & Mark IJzerman

Marjolijn Boterenbrood i s a visual artist who explores place and space: she reveals what happens b eneath the surface of a landscape. Mark IJzerman is an interdisciplinary a rtist and composer who, through installations and audiovisual performances , gives voice to the non-human world.

What connects them is water: t he life it sustains, its effect on materials, and how it will transform ou r city. Floodlight was created during Marjolijn’s residency at Mediamatic, on the Oosterdok waterfront.
