Ann Veronica Janssens voyage à Kyoto, 2018
Bamboo door curtain, goldleaf 23 3/4 carats
184 x 89 cm
Edition of 3
voyage à Kyoto consists of a gold-leaf covered vertical bamboo beaded curtain. While the gilded pearls of bamboo recall the traditional Japanese door curtains, the work is a metaphor for a rustle of light and 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's oeuvre: the work of art as window and visual phenomena created by slight alterations to the materiality of objects.
