VerBergen
Inspired by the coast of Bergen, VerBergen explores how looking can reveal what might otherwise remain unnoticed. While photographing the landscape, I began to look at my surroundings differently, searching for details that would normally escape my attention.
The resulting photographs were translated into cyanotypes on thin 45-gram Japanese paper. By folding and shaping the prints, parts of the images are concealed while others are brought into focus. What is visible changes with the form, creating a shifting relationship between revealing and hiding.
VerBergen invites the viewer to look beyond the surface, to slow down, look again and discover what might otherwise remain hidden.
Geïnspireerd door de kust van Bergen onderzoekt VerBergen hoe anders kijken kan onthullen wat normaal aan onze aandacht ontsnapt. Foto’s van het landschap zijn vertaald naar cyanotypes op dun Japans papier, die door vouwen en vormen deels worden verborgen en uitgelicht. Zo nodigt het werk uit om verder te kijken dan de oppervlakte.
