Fleur Boonman, 2005

Painting

Created by Fleur Boonman in 2005. The artwork is a c-print on synthetic material and displayed at 10 x 15 cm.

A desert-like landscape appears through two window frames. The light outside seems so bright, you almost need to squint to focus on the dark scene inside. Painting, by Fleur Boonman, shows a group of men in the corner of a room, barely visible. The soft light shining through the window only illuminates a set of pans and some of the squatting figures. The inability to see the gestures and faces of the men leave the viewer's imagination to run its course. Are they eating or perhaps discussing something? In conjunction with the lighting and the soft colours, the image has the feeling of a movie still.

Painting is part of Fleur Boonman’s series 34 Seconds, which was exhibited at Foam in the spring of 2005. The selection of images serves as a diary of Boonman’s nomadic life, consisting of everyday encounters during her travels around the world.
