Marjan
Laaper
In the videoworks of Marjan Laaper, one experiences
specific moments when times become elastic and one cannot keep a hold on it. It
magnifies, extends and zooms in an instant that would otherwise disappear. The
artist aims to look deeper into the meaningbehind things which we would like to be revealed to us or uinderstood.
That is the search for similarities in everyday events, universal laws of
nature and human behaviour.
