Work in progress, collaboration with Nynke Brandsma

Pharmakon explores the creative process as an intuitive, almost spiritual state that drifts beneath rationality. The project unfolds in an abandoned pharmacist’s home in Viarigi, Italy.

The house, once dedicated to healing, had become a relic of forgotten care. Moulded boxes, piles of papers, pills, ointments, potions, ampules - all scattered through decades of dust.

Yet amid the chaos, we felt guided. Patches of light appeared like gestures; unexpected objects – a photograph, a pair of glasses, an envelope of X-rays – revealed themselves as offerings.

Was this coincidence, imagination, or the echo of a presence still tending to the place?

Whatever it was, we felt it was joining our process, playing along.

Pharmakon, our first collaborate project, embraces both science and spirituality, the visible and the unseen. It reflects on how intuition reaches beyond reason, connecting us to something larger than ourselves. Between dust and light, Pharmakon seeks consolation beyond rationality - the resilience that arises from surrender, attention, and an open mind.
