Nightscape (3)
Pieter Geenen, 2005, 15'
The work of Pieter Geenen focuses on uncanny landscapes that without calling for analysis, emotion or transparence, slowly find their place in the imagination of the viewer. The attention is sharpened, the experience slows down. In nightscape, a series of nocturnal soundscapes, we become – devoid of the usual visual intellectual framework – completely dependent on our hearing. “It is no coincidence that the night seems to be the favorite time of this anti-reporter: in the dark hours, when we have to focus eyes and ears, nothing seems what it is. ‘Believe that anything is real you can imagine’”. (Herman Asselberghs)
