For her third solo show, Marijke van Warmerdam returns to Galleri Susanne Ottesen and Copenhagen with The sun comes in, an exhibition which explores notions of time and human connection, both visible and invisible. For van Warmerdam, a moment never exists in isolation but is inherently connected to that which came before and that which is about to happen.
Her work often features the natural environment: the ocean, water droplets, sunlight, animals, and green spaces, and those featured in this show are no exception. Here, van Warmerdam draws our attention to the sun: essential to our earthly existence and our earliest means of time-telling.
Visitors will be greeted by a monumental wallpaper featuring a photograph of the young artist. Also on view are three of her renowned looped video works, a sculptural installation and a series of brand new photographic editions.
Van Warmerdam’s work is sometimes described as one of gentle beauty, but they contain powerful universal images and are imbued with a fizzing energy, no matter how fleeting the captured moment may be.
