Senses of Memory

​

From the 1st until the 30th of September, 'Senses of Memory', with work by Shigeo Arikawa and Bas Wiegmink, is on show at Galerie Helder.

​

Photographer and film maker Shigeo Arikawa (1982, JPN) explores the perception of images. In other words: how is it that we can perceive an image as 'real'? Arikawa manipulates his photos and plays with illusion in order to test our awareness.

​

Everything is possible in the paintings of Bas Wiegmink (1977, NLD). Nature attains the power to evolve. Vegetation undergoes genetic changes. Remnants of humanity indicate a certain 'civilisation'. The message could be: 'don't be afraid of the future, we will survive.'
