Hole in the (w)hole, 2025
What systems of power are visible, and which ones are hidden or leaking through the cracks?
![]()
The work of Driest speaks often on the relationality, transmission and dissemination of printing, books, banners, pamphlets, often carried from one person to another by hands and pockets, suitcases and car trunks.
The textile piece Hole in the (w)hole explores power through printed fragments, the symbols and images of leakages. The work draws on the visual language of monuments as symbols of power to question how power circulates, and how collective gestures can reframe the forms and hierarchies that organise what is seen, held or given space.
