Roos Gerritsen: Between Lines

Lees in het Nederlands

A multimedia/video installation with the sky as its subject, interrupted and then reordered. Through projection this fragmented sky becomes a metaphor for the urban view, where buildings, lines, and levels continually break the gaze. Below, on, and above the ground of the EXbunker a new play of edges and depths emerges, a horizon that is constantly shifting. Roos connects the sky to vulnerability and freedom, giving it a spontaneous presence in contrast to the concrete reality of the space.

This installation invites a sense of freedom and space that continually opens itself anew.

About Roos Gerritsen
Care, control, affection, dominance: our bonds with animals are rarely simple. Roos Gerritsen explores the layered and often contradictory relationship between humans and animals in her video installation. Her focus lies on domesticated animals, particularly the horse, which has been deeply intertwined with human culture for centuries. She reveals how we simultaneously care for and constrain these animals, offering affection while limiting their freedom. This tension underpins her work, where multiple perspectives on human-animal relationships are presented without imposing a single truth.
