“Correspondence,” says Lisa Tan in her video Waves, is a term she uses “for sisterly agreements between places, images, sounds, and moments.” For us, in this moment, we are in correspondence with you here now at Goethe-Institut, or as you’re reading this on the train trip home, with Lisa in Stockholm, and with our exhibition space Shimmer nestled in the Port of Rotterdam. These correspondences move between the flashes of light and dark, between the computer screen and the ocean, between buffers and load times. Between the Städel Museum in Frankfurt with its bright blue walls and the cold wind that blows from the Arctic. We, you and us, are as Lisa says, “interact[ing] with something, somewhere, where you are not.” We are in-between, conduits, and flow-throughs. Our voices reliant on the unseen infrastructures of distant servers, or structured by language. And yet, we find a meeting points between land and sea, in places that ebb like waves or wavering flashes of distant lights.
