David Hayne is a multidisciplinary artist
based in the Netherlands, Europe.
His body of work is situated at the intersection of performance, installation and education.
It’s a product of his own wondering - an exploration of how life unfolds, how his mind operates and shapes experience, and how society could/should function.
Both a dream and a manifesto, his work responds to societal realities through introspection. By creating immersive spaces, David Hayne encourages/demands connection, reflection and empathy from his audience.
