Close to the end point of the river Maas near Maastricht, a small island has been constructed recently as a natural reserve. Further down the stream, the only natural beach of Rotterdam is now completely surrounded by the industrial harbor. Although humans mostly abandon these places, the human traces, however, remain: an astonishing amount of garbage carried by the river gathers on the shores. There in the mud, one can find pieces of bones and of plastic side by side, ageing similarly, almost as though they belonged together. Arranged in fictional cities and skeletons, this cyborg matter constructs the image of a time after ours. The earth carries on its cycles of transformation without us.
