by Middernacht & Alexander
Sofie Middernacht (1985, BE) and Maarten Alexander (1990, NL) are a renowned artistic duo exploring intimacy, voyeurism, and the psychological nuances of daily life. They use materials that decay or oxidize, creating tension between preservation and deterioration. Their series "How I Got Over" repurposes old Belgian diesel tanks, transforming corrosion into functional art with unique epoxy and pigment finishes. Known for pushing artistic boundaries, their work provokes thought and emotion, leaving a lasting impact on the art world.
You will find some objects designed by Middernacht+Alexander at the TRETORNXKASSL Pop Up in Amsterdam until mid-December, 2024.
Item
“We both chose the KASSL Original rubber coat, and the Anchor crossbody: where sleek design meets practicality. Minimalist lines and a waterproof finish, perfect for us who like their style clean and effortless and spend a lot of time outdoors.”
Artist
“Mark Rothko. He is celebrated for his ability to evoke deep emotions through his use of color and form—it's a level of artistry one can only aspire to achieve. We used to frequent the room with his works in Tate Modern when we were living in London.”

Album
Sofie “I start most of my mornings with the album Ethiopiques vol 21. Emahoy. African music is good for the soul.”
Dish
Sofie “Pasta all day every day.”
Maarten “Chocolate with whole hazelnuts.”
Pet
“We co-parent the love of our lives. Our dog is a mischievous little genius who steals socks for sport, demands cuddles like a pro, and makes us laugh daily with her sweet yet totally devious antics.”
