This work is part of Twilight Zone, an extensive photographic project for which Satijn Panyigay captures empty exhibition spaces of the Dutch contemporary art museums. She takes her photographs during solitary, meditative explorations of the temporarily empty museum spaces — this time, at FOAM in Amsterdam. Twilight Zone (FOAM) has a recognisable majestic hyper-realistic aesthetic of Panyigay, yet this series offers a new tonality to the project. The images are warm and the seemingly white museum walls reveal themselves surprisingly colour-rich. Satijn works exclusively with the light available on the scene, and her analogue approach brings out a whole hidden range of colour to the surface. This creates a lively series. Twilight Zone (FOAM) also has a playful labyrinth-like geometry to it. Wide open doors and pathways, light beams that subtly indicate a gap.
For Twilight Zone, Satijn Panyigay previously photographed the empty Boijmans Van Beuningen, Museum W and the Kröller-Müller museum. In 2022, combination of these series is on display as a solo exhibition at Museum W, Weert. Past exhibitions of Panyigay include Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen (Rotterdam, NL); Fotomuseum Den Haag (The Hague, NL); Museum Tot Zover (Amsterdam, NL); Villa Mondriaan (Winterswijk, NL). Her work is in the collections at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Museum Tot Zover, Museum Van Bommel Van Dam, and Museum W, among others.
