‘BRIDGING WORLDS’ CURATED BY NXT MUSEUM AT ROSEWOOD AMSTERDAM

words by VERONICA TLAPANCO SZABÓ

Nestled within the grand former Palace of Justice, Rosewood Amsterdam has long been a haven where history and creation converse. This season, the hotel takes a particular turn, by continuing its collaboration with Nxt Museum for the third iteration of Curated by Nxt Museum, an artistic digital encounter titled Bridging Worlds: Organic Connections and Discontinued Dimensions. Watch as the hotel turns into a living portal of sorts, embracing motion capture, photography, and digital art, through a series showcasing three pioneering artists. It’s a wondrous space that hold the power to dissipate the line between viewer and performer—perfect for those who like to be in the moment.

First in the lineup is Italian multimedia artist and experimental dancer Francesco Misceo, whose installation BEYOND THE ECHO merges human movement with generative visuals to explore our symbiotic connection to nature—when it fades so do we. As biodiversity faces severe challenges, Misceo invites us to place the body at the center of the dialogue, with a figure that crumbles with each movement. In a room humming with this shifting form, you can feel the planet’s pulse, making for a meditation on the threatened symphony of life.

Dutch artist Bart Hess presents us Wave, a hypnotic numeric dance film created in collaboration with dancer Sedrig Verwoert. Here, it is through repetition, delay, and frame manipulation that the dancer’s past movements transform into an evolving organism (a shadow-self in motion if you will.) Hess has always been fascinated by the interaction of materials and skin, and in Wave, the choreography feels tactical and sensuous, a visual loop that’s oddly addictive…

Last but not least, Stockholm-based duo Ryan Koopmans and Alice Wexell continue their decade-long collaboration with The Wild Within. Their work fuses photography with 3D digital sculpting, giving birth to these abandoned spaces overrun by flora. Each hall, each sunbeam, each vine speaks on behalf of the nature and architecture liaison becoming the ultimate summoners of liminality and in their presence one couldn’t help but wonder: what happens when we are all gone?

Together, these three projects make for an enchanting trifecta where digital artistry, human expression, and natural forms collide. Bridging Worlds: Organic Connections and Discontinued Dimensions is open to both hotel guests and non-resident visitors from the 1st of November 2025 to the 31st of January 2026, don’t miss out on the opportunity to roam the corridors of a historic palace all while peering into a new dimension.
