Leap (1994)
Since the 1990s, Marijke van Warmerdam has been developing an oeuvre encompassing film, photography, painting, and sculpture. Her short film loops gained international recognition at the 1995 Venice Biennale. "Football" (1995) was created in Amsterdam that same year.
For Sprong (1994), she filmed a boy balancing a ball on his head for several minutes, an everyday moment she transforms with subtle sounds. Her work relies on the power of the image and is characterized by lightness, humor, and unexpected simplicity.
Lack of Guidance, a football-inspired fashion label from Amsterdam, explores the cultural codes of the sport through clothing. For the Warmoes Biennale, the brand is developing a special long-sleeved top in collaboration with Marijke van Warmerdam.
