Retrōspicere | Summer Exhibition
In Retrōspicere (meaning; 'to look back’) past imagery is taken from the An Irrational Element archive and curated into a visual novella as to reflect and conjure feelings, memories and thoughts.
During this summer An Irrational Element relocated from Arnhem, The Netherlands to Antwerp, Belgium due to the expansion of the studio and desire for a new surrounding. Once settled I took the time to browse through the recent archive of imagery and felt like looking back at the summer period as it is coming to its end. This is an exhibition of trips with friends, excursions, work for An Irrational Element and other snippets of the summer. Aiming to convey these moments you will find added captions with selected imagery for more context.
