Liquid Shadows
Liquid Shadows showcases Nicky Assmann and Joris Strijbos' innovative fusion of kinetic light and cinematic soap film, exploring the boundaries of visual and auditory perception.
Liquid Shadows features the work of Rotterdam-based artists Nicky Assmann and Joris Strijbos, presenting two compelling installations : Fading Shadows and Liquid Solid. Fading Shadows is a kinetic light installation that explores the moiré effect, pushing the limits of human perception through the interplay of overlapping patterns. In contrast, Liquid Solid captures the transformation of freezing soap films in a sub-arctic setting, creating a visually stunning montage that evolves from vibrant membranes to intricate ice crystals, accompanied by a unique soundtrack of soundscapes and self-made instruments. Both works reflect the artists' focus on the intersection of art, technology, and sensory experience as part of the collective Macular.
