Liliane Lijn

Introduction

I work in a broad range of materials and media, making extensive use of new technologies to create works that view the world as energy. A constant dialogue between opposites, my sculptures use light and motion to transform themselves from solid to void, opaque to transparent, formal to organic.

My practice takes inspiration from science, oriental and western philosophies and the archetypal images of mythology. My work with text, since the 1960’s in unique objects, live performance and books, explores how language acts as a mirror of our society. I am particularly interested in the interaction between light and matter. In my recent work, I use video as memory encapsulated in light.
