"in my work I’m exploring the border between photography and film, therefore the tension between movement, stagnation,present and absent,
which provide my study of how to clarify different intensities of time and time experience."
Anna Krieps
"Memories are the window to our soul.I photograph my family like a visual diary and a fairytale of childhood imagination. Opposed to the idea of the direct and aggressive picture consummation the idea of a memory in perpetual construction seems more than ever essential: It allows the survival of human culture and the development of its collective memory."
Sanne Heusinkveld
"At the beginning of the 19th century hysteria was seen as a psychological illness, nowadays we call it lust. In my work I’m exploring the hypnotizing movements of the body."
Lon Doekes
"I'm exploring the relationship between image and sound. in my installation I'm creating a new sound experience
by amplifying the sound with images. In a similar work, consisting of video's, I'm searching for the balance between image and sound."
Francisco Martinez
"My work wants to explore the way we deal with information. The constant fluency of massive data doesn't allow us to digest its actual nature and absurdity.
Art is the place to question what we are told as individuals. I try to offer a different point of view about us, humans, by challenging our usual understanding of the surrounding."
Vera van Wolferen
"Sleeping was the best way to escape being."
"In the process of creating I discovered a parallel with my everyday life. ‘Navigating’
is a short video about my search for a kind of wayfinding through life. Miniature sets
made out of grey cardboard were the starting point for a visual poem that evolved in an
intuitive way. Objects that may not seem related at first glance are put into context by
fragments of text. Stop motion animation and video combined with, what I consider
enchanting sounds give ‘Navigating’ a distinct atmosphere. Opposites such as structure
vs chaos, being in control vs trying to escape and seeing only details vs having an over-
view are the main subjects of this work. These contradictions are the themes that are part of
my everyday life and of the process of making."
Henriëtte Everhard
"I focus on the dynamics between two people or more, and how they relate to each other, specifically family. My own family situation plays an important role, in both social and conceptual aspects. the main subject for my current project is my elderly fathers age."
What are the beliefs and hopes of young creators before they enter the official art world? What is the direction of their thoughts? This particular group of students will share their visual process before they are confronted with the expectations of the art market. The site also introduces the personal projects of the graduates before their final show in July.
In the beginning of April we opened our exhibition “Transitions”, a collective show located on two different platforms. Both of our locations featured work from constructed by our personal language, mainly on photography and audiovisual media. For each space we selected works with a different approach, adjusted to the contradictory places. P////AKT has monumental and industrial atmosphere, while Lauriergracht 160 feels more intimate.
The travel-time between the two places gave the public the opportunity to digest the works they had just observed, and could anticipate the works in the other space.
