The Protectors was a trilogy in the vitrine of De Aanschouw at Hensepeter, evolving over three consecutive Thursdays, showcasing Eady van Acker on 12 March, Anna Bierler on 19 March, and Twan Lugten on 26 March.
The exhibition accumulated week by week, forming a story in space, like an exquisite corpse. A poem written by Tiiu Meiner opened the trilogy, setting the atmosphere in which the works take shape. Guests returned each Thursday to see how the narrative developed.
Inspired by the film Angel’s Egg by Mamoru Oshii, the trilogy is shaped by three questions:
What is your egg?
How are you protecting it?
What happens to it?
Together, these questions extend beyond the exhibition, lingering on what it means to safeguard something life-giving in a time marked by destruction.
The exhibition’s opening poem was also printed on a T-shirt, suggesting the trilogy to continue beyond the duration of the exhibition.
