A refreshing perspective: a visual essay in Creatie
In News onAn Amsterdam based magazine Creatie has a visual essay by Mischa Rozema
of PostPanic that makes you look at my work from a refreshing perspective.
While I couldn’t fully get the text part since the magazine is in Dutch, the
pictures tell the story very well. To me the essay focuses on how we are as a
peculiar specie on the planet that can see who we are and tries to shape who
we are. The essay tells our excitements, uncertainties, oddities and triumphs
in the process. It’s always refreshing and enjoyable to see someone coming
up with a solid theme out of my non-referential work. Thank you Mischa.To see the essay, please go to main part of my site, click PRESS. It should appear in
the list as “A Visual Essay by Mischa Rozema”.Three other artists who appear in the essay are exceptional. Here are some other
works by them which do not appear in the essay. Hope you visit their sites for more.0 -
but does it float
In News onEvery once in a while I check if “but does it float” has a new entry. The site stands
out, among many visually oriented sites, in showing intriguing images lead by
brief sentences. The text often act as a springboard to lift you up where the images
are displayed or they can playfully set the rhythm to the visual composition that
follows. The curators of the site, Folkert Gorter and Atley G. Kasky, know how to
put up great shows tastefully, beautifully and effectively. Here are some examples.Here is what they did with my work (below). Somehow the vastness of the text at
the beginning takes you to a place where you can let your imagination fly. It’s so
clever and effective.
