Anya Janssen - The Shapeshifter -

TORCH gallery proudly opens The Shapeshifter, an exhibition by Anya Janssen. In collaboration with a composer, a writer and a video-maker she creates a synergistic Gesamtkunstwerk inspired by Ivy; a twelve year old girl that lives partly detached from civilization together with her mother. In a small red mobile home she coexists with her animals and nature on the fringe of Dutch urbanity. The stories this girl told Janssen inspired her to create an installation piece focusing on Ivy's way of shifting personalities between civilization and her own private universe.

A new catalogue for the project will be available at the gallery. After the opening the works will be exhibited until the 7th of April

Opening:
Saturday 25th of February, 5-7 PM.
