Every visualisation of the selected videos to launch PAV will be for free until October 1, 2023, thanks to the generous contribution of the featured artists.
Steef Kersbergen (they/them) and Vicky Maier (they/them) have collaborated in performance art and video since 2021.
As a nonbinary performer, Kersbergen questions conventions on gender in most of their work, from community theatre to visual arts. They create juxtapositions to explore all forms of in-betweens, focusing on employing a nonbinary way of thinking in their artistic practice.
Maier researches the interplay of audience participation and scenography as well as ethical ways of storytelling at the threshold of the theatre, installations and image-making.

The disappearing home, flooded by the rising sea levels. The tidal feeling of solastalgia,
the homesickness when you are still at home, but you know it’s under threat and will one day be taken by the water.
Areas created and protected by human efforts from encroaching waters are not just a home for people but also for a diverse ecosystem. The video’s performer, Steef Kersbergen, learned as a child that their hometown in the Netherlands would flood irredeemably and, with it, a third of the country. The precise timeline of this event remains uncertain, with scientists offering varying estimates.
The Dutch people are divided in dealing with this eventuality. Some are preparing. Others sit with or suppress the discomfort, push away the water, fear, grief, and sadness and continue living. As for now, it is okay.
