Rebekka Bank (1998, Denmark) is an artist, designer and chef based in Amsterdam. Driven by a multidisciplinary approach she bridges performance, design, ecology, creative writing and culinary arts into an ever-changing creative mixture.

Her foremost aim is to make works that remind us to be present. Being in a world propelled by efficiency and overstimulation, she is interested in activating deeper levels of attention to cultivate the mindset needed in order to harmonise with our environments.

In her work you will encounter elements such as imaginary maps, miniature pockets, multifunctional garments, recipes and suggestive writing systems – altogether as expressions of the subtle poetic dimensions of our everyday lives that reveals our close relationship to all living things.

At the PAiR Residency she will be exploring our ecological challenges outside the macroscopic scale. With the grey dunes of Pāvilosta as a framework, the motion of sand will serve as a metaphor and guiding force to perceive the (close to) invisible changes that are putting pressure on our ecosystems.
