On January 16th from 18:00-20:30, Ghazale Moqanaki and Marieke Peeters present the launch of ‘Between Our Fingers’, a publication exploring the conceptual framework of the doll’s house at SeeLab.
The publication features contributions from artists Lore Pilzecker, Sohrab Kashani, Kiara Amartya, Ghazale Moqanaki, and Marieke Peeters who each approach the miniature from a different perspective. Bringing together essays, poetry, and visual artworks that interrogate the miniature as a site for reflection on domesticity, precarity, fantasy, and agency.
Historically, the doll’s house used to represent a particular cultural and social model of domestic life and reinforced that. Today, the doll’s house can be anything and it reveals desires, anxieties, and imagined realities that are otherwise difficult to articulate. This book examines the doll’s house as a symbol of control and desire, as well as a space of imaginative freedom in response to the increasingly inaccessible reality of housing as a right.
The book launch at SeeLab includes a performance program alongside video installations by contributors of the publication. The evening presents readings from the publication, a music performance by Ghazal Faghihi, and miniature food. Together, the publication and accompanying program present the doll’s house as a tool for imagination, critical reflection, and creative experimentation inviting visitors to reconsider the small worlds that reflect our own.
Date: 16 January
Opening: 18:00-20:30
Location: See Lab Project Space, Duinstraat 57, Scheveningen
About the makers
Marieke Peeters and Ghazale Moqanaki are visual artists who have been collaborating and curating exhibitions and projects together since 2023. Their recent projects include the group exhibition ‘Bad Objects’ at Quartair (2024), the experimental theatre production ‘Garbage Mansion’ at Zaal 3 of The National Theatre (2025), and now the publication ‘Between Our Fingers’. For this publication, they invited Lore Pilzecker, a visual artist whose work explores impermanence and mortality through drawing, Sohrab Kashani, an artist working across performance, video, installation using alter-egos and speculative spaces, and Kiara Amartya, an artist whose work is inspired by ghosts, hauntings, and canine-like creatures. Marieke Peeters is a visual artist who creates immersive installations, sculptures, and films that combine material research with performance influenced by horror as a construct. Ghazale Moqanaki is a multidisciplinary artist who combines sounds, objects, and spaces and translates them through myths and stories.
This project was realized with support of Stroom.
