With this work, Nabuurs&VanDoorn respond to the actions of the "Just Stop Oil" climate activists who attacked the painting Sunflowers (Van Gogh, 1888) at the National Gallery London with Heinz tomato soup. In response, the artists performed ten rituals in the landscape of Vincent's native region. This produced works combining art, the complexity of climate protests, and the relationship between local and global tensions. In late 2022, they mapped ten locations within an 8- kilometer radius of Vincent van Gogh's birthplace. Locations to which Vincent referred in his letters to his brother Theo and in which he thought back with nostalgia to the landscape around Zundert.
