Boelens. NL Gwenneth Boelens prende come punto di partenza la precisa osservazione e analisi della fotografia e la sviluppa in installazioni tridimensionali, collage, performance, fotografia e video. Il suo lavoro illustra la relazione dialettica fra cultura e natura, il rapporto fra il corpo umano e lo spazio o il carattere frammentario della memoria e della conoscenza. Gwenneth Boelens takes the precise observation and analysis of photography as point of departure and develops it into three-dimensional installations, collages, performances, photography and video projections. Her work illustrates the dialectic relation between culture and nature, the relationship of human body to space or the fragmentary character of memory and recognition. The spacious installation ‘Ramble’ refers to a constructed wild garden in New York’s Central Park, while the English verb ‘to ramble’ means erratic roaming. The artist transfers this situation to the exhibition space: the ostensible wilderness is reconstructed by a collage-like panorama, while a soliloquy in the background reflects on the ambiguity of its artificial lusciousness. Ramble is a collaborative work with writer Nickel van Duijvenboden. An adaption of the work is exhibited at the Museum of the Music. |
