Driving through the Netherlands, Tom Haakman is endlessly amazed at how our country works. Why is our society built on certain traditions? Why is euthanasia a taboo and which values does religion bring nowadays? “My goal is to show my love and excitement for the way our society works. I want to create empathy and respect for parts of our society that have been overlooked.”
During HKU Vers in August, Tom Haakman shows in EXboot an gentle observation of the gradual fall into obsolescence that religion and religious values is having in the west, by using a crossover of classical symbolism and modern techniques. Meanwhile a new quest arises to create new rituals that fill the space that’s left behind.
