Last day! Lens-Based Master Graduation show: Piet Zwart Institute

Master students of the Lens-Based Media programme at the Piet Zwart Institute invite you to their graduation show at V2_ and WORM, Rotterdam.

STILL MOVES.
Stills that move. Hold on a second —
Nine artists working across moving image, photography, animation, and expanded lens-based practices would like to invite you to their exhibition. From the position that knowledge is unstable, the artists observe and set their perspectives in motion — and still, they move.

STILL MOVES brings together works, produced in 2026, that are deeply engaged with their surroundings. The artists reconnect with often overlooked, personal, local experiences—acts of seeing and imagining that help ground us in the world once again. Through intimate stories and close observations, these artists gather fragments of lived experience that reveal connections between people, places, and our surroundings. Through their individual lenses, the artists look beyond the immediate and familiar, tracing relationships and encounters that shape their understanding of the world. In doing so, they uncover stories that move them—and, surely, will move you as well. – V2_Curator Florian Weigl.

The graduation show is open from the 9th to 12th of July 2026.
