GERMAINE KRUIP – TWO CIRCLES, MIRRORED
2024-10-07In contemplating this presentation for the Annexe, Kruip imagined a reversed version of the artwork titled Untitled Circle Stainless Steel, Phantom, 2024. Both works are made from the same stainless steel plate polished to a mirror finish.
Although both circles are static, one evokes the presence of a spotlight while the other signifies its absence.
In her work, Kruip often employs pulsating light movements and optical illusions that seamlessly transition between light and shadow, evoking traditions from theatre and cinema. Here, facing each other, both artworks enter a dialogue and embody the artist’s deep fascination with time, light, and geometry, offering viewers a moment of reflection, a resting point.
