When the light began fading, I wandered home
Cornelia Glitsch (Photography) and Hans Christian van Nijkerk (Video/Sound)
Exhibition at BLOKK – August 1st-3rd, 2014.
The exhibition title is a quote from Alan Lightman's essay "Prisoners of the Wired World", where he reflects on why he doesn't waste time any longer. The exhibition is the first collaboration between Cornelia Glitsch and Hans Christian van Nijkerk. They discovered that some of their works shared the same keynote, aesthetically and thematically. Both artists are concerned with awareness and the ability to discover and dwell on things. They like to have a curious and receptive approach and see the value of practicing patience and sensitivity. This is why they tend to be attracted to situations, things and places where seemingly not much is happening, but where something still grabs their attention.
The soundtrack, composed and recorded by Hans Christian, is inspired by the ambient music genre (cf. Brian Eno, Boards of Canada, etc.). Ambient music emphasizes tone and atmosphere over traditional structure or rhythm and "is intended to induce calm and a space to think" (from the liner notes of Brian Eno's Ambient 1: Music For Airports.)
