FROM SUNSET TO SUNRISE
Through this work, I wanted to tell the adventure of a night out spent dancing to electronic music at the club amidst lights, colours, and glitter until dawn. My exhibition starts with a cosmic sunset, which expresses the emotion and expectations one feels towards a millenary human ritual, towards an ancestral need like dancing in front of a fire to the rhythm of a drum. The hypnotic music, the electronic loop, the liberation in dance, dancing until losing the sense of time: I tried to represent using a light language, fun, and very colourful elements.
I close the circle with the night, represented by a woman who dances and escapes at the first light of dawn. This adventure is a representation of my life experienced firsthand as a lover of nightlife, music, and dance. I made four tapestries at the textile workshop of the Tilburg Museum and two objects representing cosmic emotions: one warm and one fluo.
The tapestries are made of Acrylic wool, Merino Wool, cotton, and lurex. The objects are made up of numerous plexiglass discs mounted on a wooden frame and connected to each other with fishing lines, like embroidery. The overlapping of the plexiglass discs creates a great variety of colours, thanks to the transparency and glitter of the discs.
My exhibition is hosted at the Collection M Gallery in Amsterdam and is available for viewing and purchase www.collectionmgallery.com
