Rosa Groenewegen
Between people, systems & uncertainty
Systems, routines, and technology create order but also impose limits. I focus on moments where boundaries blur, meaning shifts, and agency becomes unstable. My work invites reflection on how we navigate the frameworks around us, frameworks that may offer clarity, or merely the illusion of it.
Through performance, video, installation and public intervention, I engage with the dynamics between control and uncertainty, participation and resistance. These investigations are grounded in a belief in the transformative potential of human connection.

Tussen mensen, systemen & onzekerheid
Systemen, routines en technologie creëren orde, maar leggen ook beperkingen op. Ik richt me op momenten waarop grenzen vervagen, betekenis verschuift en de handelingsruimte van mensen onzeker wordt. Mijn werk nodigt uit tot reflectie op hoe we ons bewegen binnen de kaders om ons heen, kaders die helderheid kunnen bieden, of slechts de illusie daarvan.
Met performance, video, installatie en publieke interventie houd ik me bezig met de dynamiek tussen controle en onzekerheid, participatie en weerstand. Deze onderzoeken zijn geworteld in een geloof in het transformerende potentieel van menselijke verbinding.
