I BURN FOR YOU CANDLE

White candle with handwritten text in the artist's handwriting.

You can light this candle if you want to think of someone close to you. But who actually burns for whom? We can burn a candle for someone we care about as well as for something we believe in. When the candle has burned, your thought is still there.

Each candle is individually packed in a cardboard tube.

Sarah van Sonsbeec

Sarah van Sonsbeeck (1976) studied architecture at TUDelft (MA) and art at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie (BA). In 2008, 2009 she had a residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam. She had solo exhibitons at the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam (2017), Annet Gelink Gallery, Amsterdam (2017). Her work was amongst others on show at De Nederlandsche Bank, Amsterdam (2013), Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam (2013), Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven (2012), Museum De Paviljoens, Almere (2009), Musem Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach (2011), the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2009).

'Her work focuses on the thin permeable line between interior and exterior - without concern for the façade. This detour brings her to an investigation of a more immaterial side of architecture, in which she scrutinizes all the small elements that determine how we live in our homes, the things the architects cannot control. She amplifies these elements and devises shields against them, but also welcomes the unpredictable and reveals the minute but intimate relationships between people who don't necessarily know each other. Sarah van Sonsbeeck practises architecture after all, of the immaterial - though no less fundamental - kind.' Excerpt taken from a text by Annick Kleizen.
