Optical illusion? The work of Femke Dekkers plays games with the powers of perception. Yet she does not hide the perspective correction that she performs to manipulate the viewer’s perception. If you take a closer look at her photos, you gradually discover how the photographed sets are thoughtfully constructed. Through the use of hybrid materials varying from ceramics and paper to wood and paint, Femke raises a field of tension between static structures and picturesque perspectives. In this artistic space, she investigates the possibilities of photography as a medium with both sculptural and paint-like qualities.
