Ik Stond Er Bij En Ik Keek Er Naar (I stood there and I watched it) is a kinetic installation that explores the tension between suffering and the role of the spectator. Inspired by the crucifixion of Christ, the work reflects on how we deal with suffering in the modern world.

Do we become indifferent, ignore it, or try to alleviate it? Cameras in the installation give the viewer control and force them to actively participate in the perception of suffering. Destroying crucifixes raises questions about our response to Christ's suffering. The work challenges us to reflect on our responsibility and attitude towards suffering in the world.
