Beeldend kunstenaar en fotograaf Annet Neijmeijer met solo-expositie AEON in Atelier K84

AEON  

The Greek philosophers used the word AEON to describe a span of time so vast it eludes our comprehension. Annet’s work navigates between the scientific clarity and the sensory awareness of space, time, and light. On the one hand, these elements can be rationally explained - they provide structure and certainty due to their measurable, scientific nature. On the other hand, their experience transcends fixed boundaries, touching our consciousness without being fully graspable. In AEON, Annet explores this duality. Through this interplay, space, time, and light not only become concepts that we know but phenomena that we experience - at both the physical and inner level. It is in this meeting, of already knowing and feeling (again), that her work finds meaning.

Annet Neijmeijer  

Annet Neijmeijer (Netherlands, 1960) is a contemporary visual artist who focuses on the profound exploration of space, time, and light. She graduated with honors from the Photo Academy with her installation AEON, in which she explored how to shape these elements. For Annet, space, time, and light are not just physical, measurable components that define the structure of the universe but also fundamental building blocks of human experience - a theme that runs through all her work. After a successful career in communications for various NGOs, Annet decided to fully shift her focus to art and photography and recently received several honorable mentions and international prizes for her work. Her studies in anthropology and professional background in the humanitarian sector gives her a deep, reflective perspective on the world, engaging with the interplay between the rational and the intuitive, the explainable and the mysterious. In her work, Annet creates photographic images that evoke suggestions of space without a fixed scale or context. By experimenting with materials and techniques, she seeks to make space, time, and light "experiential" in a new way. Her primary medium is photography, as it is intrinsically connected to these three elements. Annet uses photography’s inherent qualities to blur the boundaries of the image, allowing physical reality to give way to a personal and intuitive experience. During opening hours of Atelier K84, Annet will be present in the art space herself to explain her work to all visitors.
