NEWS - New installation @ Cacaofabriek

Working on my brand new video installation 'Enlightened' (more about it here, soon!), I would like to kindly invite you to the Nederlandsche Cacaofabriek in Helmond for my next show.

Enlightened is a two-channel video projection for two beamers, four large windows, and an infinite number of real- and artificial shadows.
Besides, you can enjoy works of Jarik Jongman, Frits Peeters, Michael Lehmann and Leonie Kuipers.

Vernissage is on November 6 at 14h, the exhibition is open until December 18.

*Enlightened (2011) - video installation

In this project I mix reality and imagination in a delicate, yet confusing way: I show the invisible layers of the environment by  evoking Plato's famous cave and the idea of illusions. The core of the installation is the beamer, which both projects shadows onto the windows and, just like an artificial "fire", enlightens the whole hall at the same time. This way visitors can become part of the projected image, since their shadows are no different from those in the movie for an outsider. By using the windows as screens, the interior and the public space melts together and becomes one space.




The installation has been made especially for De Nederlandsche Cacaofabriek in Helmond. The video is based upon the performance of Leonie Kuipers in the site, during the vernissage in 2011 november.
