I am currently a guest artist at residency Gastatelier De Vindplaats from September to December 2025:

​

''David Wasch (1987) is a visual artist based in Amsterdam. In his work, he explores painting, photography, text, and video as ways to investigate how something that almost disappears—a shadow, a memory, an echo—can still remain tangibly present. His work revolves around moments that are fleeting or seem to take place just beyond sight, leaving behind something that is not yet fully understood.

​

During his residency at De Vindplaats, David is exploring together with the children what home can mean. For some, it is a place or a room; for others, a language, a memory, or a feeling. Through the children’s stories and images, the project grows as a living whole: it shifts, transforms, and continually takes on new forms.''
