Juul Hondius

Portfolio
Press realease

Juul Hondius’ (1970, Ens) deconstructs the media image and subsequently recontextualises it. Dubious, or in the case of Hondius: ambiguous, forms of reporting enter into the foreground. But Hondius does not show us his source material. After all, the emphasis in his work lies not on the sender of the message but on its receiver. The one who views it is the co-creator of the image. The viewer is likewise responsible for the image that has been constructed for him or her. Not only the media image serves as a frame of reference but also the language of cinematographic imagery.
