Marie Julia Bollansée‘s work is about men, about their life and death, and about the quest in the no man’s land in between.
In her videos and performances the physical aspect has always remained a constant factor. The education of a classic sculptor which she received stays noticeable in the plastic power of her work.
In her videowork the artist reports on her observations. She takes the position of an observer, and that of a genuine translator of age old human themes. In her performances the forces which have always been there but often remain hidden are made visible. In her photo installations she creates a field of tension between primary materiality, poetry and aesthetic images.
The unexpected chemical reactions which are caused by all kinds of collaboration is an acute point of interest in the work of Marie Julia Bollansée.
"I try to detect the chemistry between people and to formulate this in my work (so that the spectators may become more aware of their humanity). I want to push out the frontiers of that which is perceptible. I am convinced that contemporary society is in urgent need of visibility of its invisible vital motives and sources."
