Jesse van Epenhuijsen

educatie - installatie - interactief - performance - sculptuur

Jesse van Epenhuijsen (1997) is a conceptual artist living and working in Rotterdam. He dwells within the domain of public space, working with spatial installations, performance, and text. Often, he finds himself in and around urban sites—situations where traces of human intervention are visible. He investigates what kind of influence they have with a highly sensitive approach. By giving care and attention to the places he inhabits for extended periods of time, he reconfigures architectural elements he finds in public space.

By highlighting specific elements and weaving them into works of art that sketch non-fictional spatial narratives, he, in his own words, tries to show us an invisible network of urban infrastructure, change, and affection.
