Introduction
Light, color and space are the basic materials of the Belgian artist Ann Veronica Janssens. With these elusive phenomena she creates 'sculptures' that make the invisible visible. Architecture is, by nature, static; whereas light and color are changeable. This is what Janssens investigates, as she experiments and sets people and things in motion. Her work deals with sensory perception and requires the active involvement of the viewer.
With her interventions Ann Veronica Janssens transforms the museum's 'white cube' into vague spaces filled with colorful mist. Despite the presence of light, we need to grope to find our way in them. With a sense of disorientation, we ask ourselves: just how big is this space? And: am I alone? Gradually the limits of the space become discernible, and people begin to loom forth in it. The artist challenges us and puts our senses to the test. What are we actually seeing and experiencing here?
