SANNE VAN DEN ELZEN

By employing film and photographic sequences, artist Sanne van den Elzen reflects on the underlying suspense related to the rules, roles, and patterns of our non-verbal behaviour. Social structures are a key element in her work.

In Today, too, I experienced something I hope to understand in a few days (2018), she takes a closer look at the manner in which we greet one another—perhaps the most universal gesture of all.
