SATIJN PANYIGAY

For the first time we present in a solo exhibition various series by the Dutch-Hungarian artist Satijn Panyigay. Satijn Panyigay photographs empty exhibition spaces in museums and their depots, as well as interiors of newly constructed homes and buildings undergoing renovation. During solitary, meditative explorations of the void spaces awaiting use, images emerge that create a balance between light and darkness, serenity and gloom, resilience and vulnerability. Inland is Satijn Panyigay’s first solo exhibition outside the Netherlands.

„(...) time slows down and even seems to pause for a moment. A new space is created, a space of silence, tranquillity, where the viewer can let go. A space for contemplation. It is a personal experience, but at the same time, one with universal value.” Cathy Jacob in her catalogue essay
