Give me and I will give you – Nike Nikupe

Jan’s public work is driven by questions about interhuman relations and how these shape our identities. It starts with the premise that our reality is neither fully within nor outside ourselves but actively formed in interactions between us. He approaches interactions with the public by focusing on the topic of the gift, and particularly on the interplay of power that is staged between ‘giver’ and ‘receiver’ by established Western networks of ‘giving,’ such as second-hand clothes donations.
