Fata Morgana (29.08.2023), 2024


This artistic realization comprises a cluster of works. The centerpiece is Fata Morgana (29.08.2023), a framed diptych (walnut frame, 101,2 x 42,8 cm) composed of two cyanotypes on Arches Platine paper, each size A3. It is combined with Untitled, 2024, an analog black-and-white contact sheet that I developed on A4-size Baryta paper (framed dimensions: 31 x 40 cm); and with Moirai, Ambleteuse (09.10.2023), 2023, an A2-size digital photograph composed of a grid of thirty-eight digital color photographs (framed dimensions: 44 x 61 cm), which also exists in the form of a video sequence. This works circles around apparitions, and reflects on their pieces and parts as they might be come across in the Strait of Dover.

Three postcards leporello, Munken 300g, each postcard measuring 12,2x14,6 cm. Brussels, De Blinkerd Editions #4.
