Marleen Sleeuwits (1980, NL) was approached by Centre Photographique in Rouen (FR) for a residency and tasked with delving into local cultural heritage. The result was presented, in combination with her previous work, in Centre Photographique's presentation room.
Her new work focuses on geology in its broadest sense. She looked at the typical type of limestone found along the Seine. To do this, she visited local abandoned mining caves along the Seine and gothic architecture made from the stone. Marleen then translated these into her signature style. With her bold use of colour and abstracted architectural structures, she creates a poetic visual narrative.
