Viviane Sassen
Consequences (Cadavre Exquis)
(The Netherlands, 2020)
Augmented Reality
Location: virtual environment (part of AR city tour)
Viviane Sassen’s visual language is deeply rooted in the domain of the subconscious mind. Bodies float in the darkness like loose limbs or are so intertwined that they form new shapes. These new (im)possible body collages stem from the technique of the “cadavre exquis,” a creative game that was popular among the Surrealists. Sassen’s surreal, hybrid, animal beings appear as symbols of metamorphosis and transformation, towards new models of female identity.
