ARE Holland Exhibition

Interdisciplinary artist Mareike Dobewall explored the interplay between aural and visual imagination during her residency. Her mixed-media works invite multisensorial experiences.

Blätterbetten was an installation where one could walk on leaves to find their beds unmade.

The photos were taken in Finland during the SAARI residency funded by Kone Foundation.

Here are some examples.

In the video work Voice Sea, a human voice becomes an unsteady sea.

This is from a work-in-progress sharing of an experiment inspired by Margaret Watts Hughes´s (February 12, 1842 – October 29, 1907) research.

Presented in a box made of black curtains that allowed the acoustics of the exhibition space to affect the recorded sound. Video was presented on a screen.

What if We Spent More Time Together is an installation that invites repeated encounters with a single image. Its significance evolves through an extending music that allows for fresh and deepening perceptions with each engagement.

This is an extract. The work was originally presented as a projection on a wall and with headphones.
