Drifters
Drifters is about an entity in search of its origin and purpose.
Colossal floating blocks of concrete, as living monoliths, migrate through an untouched landscape, lost in space and time, contemplating humanity’s relationship with the natural world.
Drifters has screened in some of the most prestigious venues across the globe, from Times Square to The Shed and Amos Rex.

Times Square Takeover
Drifters has been screened in many unique locations with a highlight being the take over on New York City's Times Square.
As part of the Times Square Arts Project 'Midnight Moment', Drifters was exhibited on 80 screens from 11:57 pm to midnight throughout December 2021 at Times Square, New York, USA.
Drifters New York
This sequel to the original work portrays the colossal floating blocks of concrete in New York.
The Shed
The Shed is one of New York's most unique venues and brings together established and emerging artists in an unprecedented movable structure that adapts to support all kinds of inventive work under one roof. Both the Drifter exhibition as well as the film were hosted in the venue.
Amos Rex
One of the most innovative and modern contemporary art galleries of Northern Europe, Amos Rex rethinks the urban park as part of the museum experience. Its structure is built with large concrete domes and features unique exhibition halls as well as public spaces.
Human Systems
Drifters - a collaboration between Sil van der Woerd and Amsterdam based Studio Drift - is a companion work to the installation Drifter and displays how basic and rough human systems are, in contrast to the natural.
The work can be seen from the perspective of whether or not the individual can escape from the collective.
