Join us for the opening of Ankhmania, an exhibition by Fiona Lutjenhuis in which she will explore themes such as the supernatural, death, god(s) and religion.
People have always sought answers beyond the rational, to try to explain the often harsh reality in which we find ourselves. Fiona Lutjenhuis grew up in a sect with a very different view of the world from that of her contemporaries. After leaving her family, she gradually came to terms with this upbringing and found a way to make it the main subject of her artistic practice.
Secret societies, a mixture of science fiction and esotericism, supernatural beings from other planets – as a child, she was told it all and developed a strong autonomous rationality to make sense of everything.
The title of the exhibition Ankhmania, Lutjenhuis’ total installation at 1646, touches upon an intimate memory. It references the name of an extraterrestrial entity that was very present in Lutjenhuis’ family household. It was both a healing instrument and messenger channeled by spiritual mediums. It also refers to the ancient Egyptian symbol ‘Ankh’, which represents eternal life, immortality, death and reincarnation, and was an integral part of her home decorations.
In the exhibition, themes such as the supernatural, death, god(s) and religion are explored. Amidst bread baking, psychedelic environments, a sense of parallel worlds, confusion and humour, the artist will make us reflect on the influence that imaginary worlds can have on our understanding of reality.
