Silent voices

Words That Remained – A Whisper from Days Gone By

Words That Remained – A Whisper from Days Gone By

Voices is a deeply personal project created together with the residents of Sint Joriszorg. During meaningful conversations, they shared memories from their childhood and youth: the sound of a summer day, the smell of the kitchen, a first smile, a song that was never forgotten. From these memories, short texts emerge as fragments: sometimes just a single sentence, sometimes a thought. During GLOW, these words and sentences become visible as vivid light projections. Fleeting, yet present, much like memory itself.

What you see and read here are emotions, experiences and memories brought fully into the light during GLOW. And you are warmly invited to become part of it, here at Sint Joris Church. Look at this work and feel connected: to the residents who contributed to the project, and especially to the people of Oirschot. Which words resonate with you?

About the artist

Sigrid Sandmann

Sigrid Sandmann creates participatory art in which language, light and memory are intertwined. At the heart of her work are the people of a particular place: their thoughts, voices and stories. With a critical yet respectful perspective, she explores how individual experiences shape shared spaces and translates them into poetic and visual forms.

She sees art as a dialogue: sensitive, political and deeply human. Through interviews, typography and digital media, she transforms everyday words into illuminated signs of participation and freedom, inviting us to see ourselves and the world anew.
