Ann Veronica Janssens' 29.04.23 #1 belongs to a newly developed body of work, first presented at the artist's 2022 solo exhibition at the Fondation Lambert in Avignon. Each work in the series consists of a glass pane submerged in a dopamine-melanin liquid bath for a specific period of time, producing a uniquely patterned nanofilm on the panel’s surface. The date in the artwork’s title refers to the day when the specific panel was removed from the liquid, revealing the intricate result of the nanofilm-building process. If the title has an additional number, it means that more than one glass panel was finished on that day.
