The spatial work of Iris Woutera (1991) focuses on all the senses. Woutera's works are made around the human body. The sculptures act as a tool for connection. The essence of her work is kinetic; an interaction between the movement of the human body and sculptures, whereas the contrasting combinations of materials generate a physical tension.
The installations are carried out by performers or invite the spectator to participate. Woutera is intrigued by the tension between universal experience and individual perception. Her works makes the trials of contemporary life tangible, and therefore open for consideration.
