Last week I opened the second iteration of the Hoogwaterwinkel (High Water Popupstore) in the Waterstraat in Zaltbommel. The opening took the form of a simple performative gesture: river water was poured across the pavement, flowing toward a barrier of sandbags blocking the shop entrance.

This small theatrical act made flood risk briefly tangible—bringing an abstract, infrastructural reality into immediate, bodily experience in the street.

Inside the shop, I present work from my NulNAP project alongside photographs from the series Netherlands – later. Both explore how future relationships between land and water might be imagined, sensed, and made present before they arrive.

The Hoogwaterwinkel functions as a public interface where awareness, imagination, and everyday experience meet—inviting visitors to reflect on water, risk, and the changing landscape of the Netherlands.
