Evi Vingerling speaks about her practice
Film accompanying the exhibition of Evi Vingerling in the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, in which she talks about her work. Evi Vingerling's paintings are an abstracted representation of the world she perceives around her. She sees everyday life as a constant flow of information; spoken text, sound, ideas, thoughts and visual impressions. She is interested in the moment when all this information comes to a standstill and only perception remains. Vingerling concentrates on the paintings with the intention of approaching her subject from a tabula rasa. Vingerling tries to depict the moment when she first looked at her subject, with an empty stream of consciousness and no prior knowledge of her subject. Evi Vingerling says about this: 'I am fascinated by the things I see and I try to take them so far out of context that they stand on their own and are stripped of their meaning.'
