Seeing Through - Retold
Seeing Through – Retold revisits the original solo exhibition in a virtual environment, allowing the work to be experienced anew through space, rhythm and perspective. What once existed within the physical gallery now unfolds in a quieter, more intimate setting, where movement, distance and scale subtly reshape the act of looking.
In this virtual re-reading, attention shifts toward material presence, surface and depth. Layered works invite the viewer to slow down and engage with texture, structure and the traces of time held within the surface. The exhibition opens itself gradually, encouraging a form of looking that is attentive, spatial and embodied.
About Seeing Through - Retold
Seeing Through – Retold is a virtual re-reading of an earlier solo exhibition by Caroline Geerling. What once took shape within the physical walls of the gallery now unfolds in a new spatial context — more compact, quieter, and intentionally slowed down.
The exhibition centres on the relationship between surface and depth, body and landscape, visibility and concealment. Layered works invite the viewer to move beyond first impressions and engage with texture, materiality and rhythm. From a distance, the works may evoke landscapes; up close, they reveal skin-like surfaces, traces of erosion and moments of vulnerability.
Rather than presenting a linear narrative, Seeing Through – Retold unfolds as a spatial journey. The virtual environment allows for multiple viewpoints and moments of pause, encouraging a slower form of looking. Works are given room to breathe; details gain presence; silence becomes an active part of the experience.
This virtual edition is not a replacement of the physical exhibition, but a transformation. By shifting the work into a digital space, new relationships emerge between scale, movement and perception. The exhibition invites the viewer to look again — not to understand, but to be present.
Seeing Through – Retold is an invitation to experience art as a layered and unfolding presence, where meaning reveals itself gradually, over time.
Caroline Geerling
Seeing Through - Retold
In Seeing Through, Caroline Geerling explores the relationship between surface, material and time. Her works emerge through a slow, layered process in which materials are built up, eroded and reopened. What appears at first as abstract form gradually reveals associations with skin, landscape and lived experience.
The surface functions as a threshold rather than an endpoint. Cracks, fibres and textures become traces of memory and erosion, holding tension between vulnerability and strength. Each work unfolds as a landscape in itself — raw and tactile, yet restrained and intimate.
Within the virtual exhibition, Geerling’s work invites a slowed form of looking. Details surface gradually as the viewer moves through space, allowing the material presence of the works to be experienced from multiple perspectives. Seeing Through becomes an exploration of perception itself — an invitation to look beyond the visible and attend to what quietly reveals itself over time.
Petra de Jong
Sculptural Presence
In Sculptural Landscape, Petra de Jong presents a series of ceramic sculptures that explore balance, movement and inner tension. Her forms are organic and grounded, shaped from within rather than imposed from without. Each sculpture carries a sense of contained energy — solid, yet subtly fluid.
The making process remains visible in the surface of the work. Irregularities, textures and traces of touch are embraced as part of the sculpture’s presence, allowing the material to speak openly. Rather than representing landscapes, the works evoke them as sensations — of weight, rhythm, openness and stillness.
Within the virtual exhibition, De Jong’s sculptures function as spatial anchors. As the viewer moves around them, shifting viewpoints reveal new relationships between form and space. Sculptural Landscape invites an embodied way of looking, where movement and attention shape the experience of the work.
