Amethyst
The moving image work Amethyst (2010) initially was created as a site-specific installation with analogue images and sound. Slowly dissolving slides reminisce the process of decay. The automated slideshow is projected in a dimly lit, richly decorated room, the visual style of the imagery referring to fashion photography – tightly related to ideas of beauty and identity. The work was created on the occasion of Salon/1, by whom I was invited to show my work in Museum van Loon during the Amsterdam Fashion Week 2010.
A digital video version of the work is currently on show at Museum de Lakenhal in Leiden, as part of their permanent collection.
