ReFraction - Vonk Festival

ReFraction maakt structuren zichtbaar.

Een visuele verbinding die normaal gesproken aan onze perceptie voorbij zou zijn gegaan. Kaders die tastbaar lijken, maar verre van solide zijn. Is objectieve isolatie in ons universum uberhaupt mogelijk, of staat alles met elkaar in verbinding?

Geobsedeerd door de werking van het universum, probeert Suzanne ideeën, emoties en achtergronden los te weken van het onderwerp.

'Ik denk niet dat wij in staat zijn om de 'echte' werkelijkheid waar te nemen. Het is geen vaststaand concept, mijn blauw kan jouw rood zijn. In mijn werk probeer ik deze subjectieve werkelijkheid dan ook zo te verbuigen dat we allemaal iets nieuws ervaren. Weet je nog hoe je als kind naar je omgeving keek?'

‘Your Blue is my Purple’

Our perception on reality is based on our own thoughts and experiences. Are we capable of viewing an objectiv reality, how sure are we that we all see the same? 

Why argue and fight about what’s real and true, when we don’t even know we perceive the same thing?

CATARACT

A site specific mixed media installation created for Uncloud Festival 2020

What do we consider real? Our eyes observe refracting light morphed into visual perception, a distorted substitute of existence. An afterimage of something real, or images that don't exist at all. Even water, the most basic of phenomena, becomes fragmented imagination, a shadow of a hidden reality.

By Suzanne van Dongen & lisa derksen Castillo

REFRACTION

Light art installation Refraction.

One of my interests as an artist is to make the unseen visible. The world is made out of more beauty then you can see. Working with natural elements to make this unseen beauty seen, make it look like a solid you would like to touch and interact with. 

Shown at BYOB Gent 2019.

Song of Songs - Videoclip

Videoclip made for Song of Songs by Willow Mae. 

"What is love? Storge, xenia, eros, agapè and philia. All have different meanings. True love should be all-embracing. Patient, kind and faithful. Not proud and not jealous. A love that does not doubt, but trusts, rather, in everything. A love that makes me feel safe. A love I don’t have to stay with. A love I don’t have to leave, either. I won’t have to do anything at all. I don’t want to settle for a lack of love. For a kind of love that’s familiar, but flawed. A love that will bring me fleeting happiness, but will leave me hurt in the long run. A loveless love. I’m searching for the perfect kind of love. The love of all loves, the Song of Songs."
