Californian Blinds #2, 2015
Blinds, gold leaf
240 x 150 x 5 cm
Californian Blinds #2 consists of a sequence of gold-leaf covered vertical blind slats. While the evenly-spaced elements recall the utilitarian blinds, the work plays on the combination of the seriality of minimalist aesthetics with the preciousness of the material. In addition, the work combines major themes of Ann Veronica Janssens’ oeuvre: the work of art as window and visual phenomena created by slight alterations to the materiality of objects.
