Artist Analysis: Alexa Meyerman •
Alexa Meyerman is a Dutch artist who makes video installations and transparent photo collages. The subjects she uses are often residential buildings that she distorts and transforms in a very original way into bizarre architectural constructions.
•
The images used are from her series titled ‘Scenes of destruction, 2013’. The transparent buildings can be seen as deconstructions as they evoke a dark and violent atmosphere. In spite of traces of human presence, the houses that are used have a common theme that they are mostly empty, or temporary abandoned.
•
Like in memories or dreams, the buildings are re-constructed; some details have been emphasized, others are dissolving or dissolved.
•
The concept of interior and exterior become exchangeable. One can look in and around these objects, and then they will transform, dependent on the incidence of light or point of view, which results in the appearance, or disappearance of entrances, exits, or rooms.
•
Unavoidably you have to approach the buildings closely, but you can not hide in these idle constructions, which, in the end, only consist of light and darkness.
