The Commerce of Relationships
Philip Janssens is extending his series of woven curtains, utilizing a reflective textile that manipulates light to create a floating effect. His sewing and weaving techniques induce a meditative experience for viewers, stimulating sensory perception. He emphasizes the subjective interpretation of his work, asserting that its meaning resides within the viewer's imagination and personal memories. The challenging visual comprehension and photography of his art highlight its ambiguity, blurring the distinction between physical and digital realms.
• Philip Janssens' work is imbued with a strong fascination for scale, the immense and the atmospheric, for the uncanny, the anonymous and the objectified. His sculptures or installations seem to elevate physical, atmospheric phenomena such as the optical play of light, refraction & reflection.
