We’ve made it! Thanks to the incredible support of 67 backers, we’ve reached our crowdfunding goal! We’re so thrilled with the support we’ve received; you truly made this project possible!
Now we can move on to the next steps! The production phase from all four of us, where we’ll develop our designs on paper to tangible materials, which will then be developed into sculptures and installations. We’ll keep you updated on our progress via social media @avws.artworks@annepoint@jeffreychoy.art and updates via voordekunst website.
Your support has set the project in motion, and the enthusiasm of your responses has given us the energy to persevere. This campaign beautifully reflects the core of our project: a call to connection and action. Inspired by the words, “…be a beacon of courage and hope,” we believe that art has the power to connect us and open hearts. We look forward to keep building on this together.
We’re excited to welcome you to the exhibition opening in November 2025, together in our time.
With a full heart and good cheer, Alida, Winfried, Anne and Jeffrey

Inspired by the words of Augustine (3rd-4th century) “Don’t complain about the emperor or the times… But say: we are the times. Be a beacon of courage and hope yourself,” we believe that art has the power to reach each other and open hearts. This project is born from a deep desire to create a space where everyone feels empowered to be authentic, and where we can grow together in connection. How can we, together, build such a world?
Through works such as Alida’s “Mirror of the Soul,” Winfried’s “The Face of Power,” Anne’s “Free Fall,” and Jeffrey’s “The Garden of Transience,” we invite you to investigate and, above all, feel the complexity of life – from power and the environment to consumerism and personal responsibility. We want to bring about a primary awareness, art that directly touches life.
‘Gazing: Cassie Kinoshi and Anne Verheij in conversation’ hosted by Anu Henriques The program consists out of a selection of 4 of our works from the last 9 years!
Long-time collaborators composer Cassie Kinoshi and visual artist Anne Verheij join us at LSFF for an in-depth exploration of their experimental film and immersive installation work together so far. Initially forming their creative partnership in 2014 after meeting during their respective studies at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, Kinoshi and Verheij have since built a portfolio of works which explore a multitude of inner dialogues drawing from the female experience, the journey to re-opening oneself after trauma and our innate desire to form connections and communicate. The conversation will by hosted by Anu Henriques (Skin Deep).
On An Empty Stomach (2014) TRAILER [ How might an intuitive painterly approach to film engender a spatial encounter? ] On An Empty Stomach tells the tale of my hunger for the moving image. Whilst traveling between points A and B, I have encountered many wondrous worlds of light, movement and abstraction. This made me forget all about time, surroundings and the social etiquettes in public spaces, thus resulting in almost getting locked in the space between the aircraft and terminal building at Gatwick Airport.
Undercurrent (2017) TRAILER We find ourselves uncomfortably close with a dancer on screen. Are we allowed to possess her? She becomes aware that she is no longer alone. On the verge of losing possession of her body she takes control, turning her attention to the camera and the audience behind it, encroaching on them like a predator stalking its prey.
OFFSET (2018) TRAILER There is no guidebook on how to survive the hurricane of pain when you find yourself betrayed. Trapped between walls of pain, you try to fight your way out. How much of the pain do you need in order to survive, what time do you get to test the truth of your expectations and how much do you let yourself be told? In fight for breath, love balances us sharply on hope’s blade.
e c h o (2021) TRAILER our surroundings, our thoughts, our voices, our memories, our journeys echo is the new immersive film installation from long-time collaborators composer Cassie Kinoshi and visual artist Anne Verheij. The installation is a sonic and visual exploration of the individual journeys taken within ourselves and alongside each other as we collectively navigate the city of London.
Very exciting news!!! e c h o | 19 – 20 November | my new sonic and visual installation in collaboration with composer Cassie Kinoshi will be presented at Kings Place as part of London Unwrapped CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS

Cassie Kinoshiand I are excited to announce that our new collaboration echo can be seen on 19 and 20 November at Kings Place London as part of London Unwrapped.
Experience echo, the new immersive film installation from long-time collaborators composer Cassie Kinoshi (Artist in residence for London Unwrapped) and visual artist Anne Verheij. The installation is a sonic and visual exploration of our connection with ourselves and each other in London.
Filmed entirely using handheld cameras, echo is an immersive audio-visual triptych with London as its main character. Day to day experiences of London life are manipulated through exploratory editing and camera movement, creating an encapsulating visceral experience of the ever changing cityscape.
echo’s electro-acoustic score was created with field-recordings captured around London; familiar sounds of trains, crowds, park life and traffic are altered and re-conditioned into the unfamiliar. Blended with synthesisers, a string quintet formed from members of Chineke! Ensemble were recorded to provide ethereal textures. These samples further elevate an evocative sound world that emulates the ever-changing experience of existing in the transformative city of London.
A short film about navigating the invisible to connect. Through movement and unexpected camera angles we try to findour way into the 24/7 world in which we start to lose connection with ourselves and others.
