Spore
Tijs Rooijakkers
Spore dives into the 2D/3D world of Tijs Rooijakkers (1975). Although he is better known for his big 3D installations, he leaves many to wonder how they come about? Where does he get his inspiration? Before becoming colossal, his installations are born through drawings. Spore gives an insight on his work process and his everlasting research on form, movement and material, which represent the base of his work and helps bring his installations to life.
