Exhibition statement

Marjan Laaper approaches video as a sculptural medium. Filmed from a single, fixed viewpoint — that of the viewer — her works are projected on a monumental scale. The videos capture brief moments that seem to stretch into eternity, like living sculptures or moving photographs. Through repetition and stillness, her installations create a space where time slows, inviting quiet reflection.

In the exhibition “Loss, Hope and Wonder”, animals take centre stage. They appear as independent, quietly present beings, drawing the viewer into moments of wonder, fragility, and connection.


During IFFR, the gallery will be open on some extra days.

Monday 2 February:12:00 – 17:00
Tuesday 3 February: 12:00 – 17:00
