Evidence of their existence

OTTO ZOO introduces its 2014 program with the exhibitions: Evidence of their existence, an installation by Marjolijn De Wit, a Dutch artist presenting her second project at OTTO ZOO.

Evidence of their existence is a series of works that Marjolijn De Wit developed during her residency at the EKWC (European Ceramic Work Center, ‘s-Hertogenbosch) in the Netherlands. The series, which includes ceramic collages and sculptures, focuses on the relationship between three-dimensional and two-dimensional perception. The result is a documented situation where abstract and visual components acquire narrative characteristics and cross a perceived border between culture and nature.
The central theme in Marjolijn De Wit’s work is the impact of man’s activity on nature and on the environment. Her work is approached through classic processes, such as painting, sculpture, drawing and collage.
