NOT the Actual Site
— until 20.01.18 The Hague
A new site-specific installation in which photographic and sculptural works come together.
Marleen Sleeuwits is known for her photo works of constructed spaces that are recognizable by their time and placelessness. Through all the physical reconstructions and alterations of the skin of the rooms she leads the spectator to a more spiritual or psychic perception of space. Numerous transformations of one and the same space provide different perspectives and experiences of space and expose its true potential.
In recent years Marleen started to leave behind the use of her camera . The deformations and reconstructions have been further developed into sculptural works with their own power of expression. The space and, in particular, the skin of a space remains the starting point of the works, but is increasingly fragmented. By presenting the components together again a new layered installation is constructed. In the installation, originals, edits, reconstructions and new photographic interpretations are brought together into a new whole.
