Marjan Laaper

CAN REON presents its first festival in the hills above Tiana, Barcelona area, Spain. On Saturday May 27, contemporary music, dance, visual arts will meet and interact with the wild and natural location.

During the Can Reon Festival 2023 two video installations by Dutch artist Marjan Laaper will be shown: “Encounter” and the video installation: “Breathe”.

Marjan Laaper specialises in large-scale video projections, installations, and art commissions in public space.

The life cycles of humans and nature play an important role in her video work and installations. The work does not provide clear answers but shows recognisable elements that raise questions. Her videos symbolically refer to universal aspects of existence.

In the 2 video installations from the serie: “Longing for Paradise” animals play the leading part. The videos are filmed from 1 point of view. The videos use “congealed time”; ephemeral moments are stretched into an everlasting “state of being”.
