Right Now, Right Here, Here Now unfolds through text, voice and sound, materialising as a book, a 7-inch record and a performance. The project explores the fleeting nature of movement, presence and memory, examining how language structures our perception of time and space. The text moves within linguistic structures, oscillating between rhythmic patterns and spatial navigation. The sound piece, recorded between Brussels and Berlin, extends this exploration into the auditory realm, playing with how articulation generates movement and how the ephemeral nature of language resists fixed meaning.
Right Now, Right Here, Here Now is the second part of a trilogy that continues the investigation into how we navigate both physical and non-physical spaces. It explores the ambiguity of language, the uncertain nature of communication, and how these elements shape our understanding of the spaces we occupy. The series is developed in collaboration with Carl Haase and published through his independent platform, Zero-Desk Editions.
Marjolein Guldentops is a Belgian visual artist and performer who explores the materiality of language and the dynamics of textual experience. Working across multiple media, the works evolve from one form to another, from text to performance, from spoken word to printed matter, in order to incorporate these elements into spatial compositions. Through these transformations, she examines the interplay between language, space and the body.
