The surreal As Without So Within (2014-2016) is a meditation consisting of images of objects and their temporary relationships. With her background in creating spatial work, the artist crafted these objects and named them ‘prop sculptures’. They serve the film and function purely as instruments for creating autonomous images. Filming them in the studio took only an afternoon, but processing the images for the film took more than two years. Time that was needed for a ‘transformation’. In their static materiality, the sculptural objects now refer to the materiality of film, and in their form and presentation to aspects of cinema such as darkness, the frame, silence and the immobility of the viewer. This makes As Without So Within a slow-paced, immersive experience and a play with scale and time.
