“My first «constructions», made during the mid-80s, were spatial extensions of existing architecture. These graftings at once formed and gave onto what I call «super spaces» : the spaces surrounding a given space, spaces without space, places for the capture of light, cement and glass cases, spaces conceived as springboards towards the void. It is this void that I try to set in motion, conferring upon it a kind of temporality. I always experiment with the possibilities of rendering fluid the perception of matter or architecture which I see as some kind of obstacle to movement and sculpture. My use of light to infiltrate matter and architecture is undertaken with a view to provoking a perceptual experience wherein this materiality is made unstable, its resistance dissolved. This movement is often provoked by the brain itself. My projects are often based on technical or scientific facts. The resulting plastic proposition is then akin to a laboratory revealing its discoveries.” - Ann Veronica Janssens
