Sandberg Institute: Cluster

ResearchLabs 2025: Sandberg Institute: Cluster

The Cluster programme was compiled by students from the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam: Amor Eletrebi (first year), Ika Schwander (second year) and Sultan Çoban (second year). They write:

poster ResearchLabs 2025: Sandberg Institute: Cluster

The room is empty but for me,

A lens, your eyes, a microphone

I speak to ghosts

The absent crowd,

Each question hanging in my empty mouth .

What do they want? My sunglasses? My face?

I shift, put more lipstick on.

I find my place.

The light cuts sharp along my jaw.

Tell us who you are, they say,

The answer always slips away

When framed like this

Who am I?

A voice, the colour red?

A girl, some piss?

I try again.

Another take.

My hands are trembling,

But still, I play the part, the scene,

Each Q&A

Sweet guillotine.

I’ll send it out

This little ghost.

Let it haunt

The ones who need it most.

Perhaps they’ll see, beyond the frame,

The small girl that flickers through my name.

And if they don’t

Let it be.

I’ve given what I kept of me.
