Window art: Janneke Berendsen at Broese

At the invitation of Art Utrecht, Janneke Berendsen will exhibit her work Ecdysis until January 19, 2021 in the window of the former Broese.

Janneke Berendsen invites the viewer to look at femininity from a different perspective. A vision that is not, as we are used to through the media, partially sexual and one-dimensional, but a vision in which the woman can be seen as a complex and layered being. The old “skin” is being shed, new forms become visible. The title “Ecdysis” refers to the process that certain animal species go through in order to grow and where they shed their entire skin.

Janneke Berendsen (‘s-Hertogenbosch, 1983) is a visual artist and photography teacher. In her work, she combines various media, among other things by drawing on photo prints, modeling photo prints into 3D objects and making video projections on drawings. A recurring motif is the female nude in the form of self-portraits. Social norms regarding women are being centralized.
