ANNA VAN ECK
The human mind tends to respond to problems or challenges only when they are right in front. In an age of climate change and many other challenges, this is life-threatening. I see the residency alternative ways of living and working as a perfect space and place to deal with this kind of social matter." |

NOMADIC ISLAND PROJECT
My personal motivation is to meet people and to create social awareness together. Nomadic Island provides the ability to experience with urban spaces, to connect people, and increases various ideas for alternative futures."
RETHINK THE USUAL - WHEN IS HOME?
Anna plans to create an installation, space of awareness for the participants, to rethink what is taken for granted. She and the people working with her will experience situations of restricted comfort zones with the idea to overcome privileged convenience. Inspired by the four elements of architecture (Gottfried Semper), her social installation will analyse and rethink the purpose of the house.
