Live interview with Xandra van der Eijk as part of Virtual Design Festival



Xandra van der Eijk spoke to Dezeen in a live Screentime conversation sponsored by Philips TV & Sound as part of Virtual Design Festival.

The Dutch artist and designer discussed her work and career with Dezeen’s founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs.

Van der Eijk is an alumna of the Royal Academy of Art and Royal Conservatory in the Hague, where she obtained a bachelors degree in graphic design and a masters in interfaculty art-science respectively.

Her work explores the intersection of design and ecological issues, taking what the designer calls an “anti-anthropocentric” approach.

Previous projects include an installation comprising a series of 3D-printed models of the foot of a receding glacier in Switzerland. The exhibit attempted to explore feelings of “ecological grief”.

In 2018, Van der Eijk poured household chemicals onto metal objects for an installation that aimed to demonstrate how chemical waste dumping is affecting the earth.
