“It’s the time of idleness that allows us to observe and discover other phenomena.”
— Ann Veronica Janssens
The work of Ann Veronica Janssens (b. 1956 in Folkestone) foregrounds the body’s perception of the world and itself in it. She often uses light, natural optical phenomena or glass as a medium. Produced with great care, her works exude the impression of great simplicity yet create vivid experiences of the act of seeing, evoking a heightened awareness of the changeability and fleetingness of individual perceptions.
