As varied as the practices of these artists are, one thing they have in common is that their work tells the story of its making. We don’t just see the finished pieces, but also perceive the presence of the artist.
The artists tell stories about ecological or social disfunctions and their dreams about a better, more caring future. They share their joy of nature and the peace of meditation.
Arcuri’s and Van Der Hout’s work resonate with our state of mind—depression, repression and confusion—wonderfully well. Their photographs engage our minds and shake us to the core – and will stay with us for a long time.
