| Description |
DE APPEL and museum HET DOMEIN present the first Dutch solo project and the first comprehensive oeuvre catalogue of Finnish artist Salla Tykkä (1973, Helsinki). After her celebrated trilogy Cave (2000-2003), the Finnish artist has been working on a new production for the last two years that will have its first screening in the Netherlands. The film Zoo (2006), screened in both Amsterdam and Sittard is an evocative, lyrical exploration of the dynamic of 'seeing and being seen' and also probes the (power) relations between nature/culture, male/female and object/subject. De Appel presents Zoo in a continuous screening, accompanied by the related photographic series Black Water (2004 - 2006). The film and group of photographs will be on show in Amsterdam from 24 June until 9 July. A retrospective of the work of Tykkä with the films Power (1999), the trilogy CAVE (2000-2003) and the previously mentioned photo series Black Water, and Zoo will be exhibited in Het Domein, Sittard from 24 June until 20 August 2006 |
