Description
It is mainly an inner world that Annelies de Mey gives shape to. Through the closed, almost claustrophobic framing and lyrical use of light, she transforms the most banal locations – a playground, a park, a hotel room – into disturbingly charged mental images. As if she vacuums the places, captures their shallowness in a bell jar and observes them in an obscure light. By closing off a specific place or motif from the context in this way, their alienating reality and subcutaneous desires are revealed. — Inge Henneman
