Elke Andreas Boon is an artist who uses a range of different media to create installations. By bringing together her photographs, drawings, videos and sculptures, she creates an environment in which hyper-individual feelings are sublimated into a sense of ephemeral beauty. The basis of Boon’s work is formed by her innate fascination with people, their connections, emotions and uncertainties. The tensions created by «responding to» or «escaping from» patterns of social expectations, revolving around age, beauty or gender, are a recurring theme in Boon’s work. As an artist, her power lies in pinpointing the sensibilities that define us as humans, laying them bare and elevating them to a level of aesthetic awareness. After an initially beautiful, often sensual impression of her works, another reality may soon emerge, confronting the viewer with an uncertain doubt about human destiny. Her work combines a poetic and escapist imagination with a raw vision of our human condition. Her work testifies to a very personal sensitivity, lightness and agility. It is not the illustration of an idea, but the result of multiple and diverse impulses that form an ambiguous whole. For Elke Andreas Boon, art is a radical choice for freedom, an attempt to go beyond the constraints of social structures. Thanks to her imagination and rebellious outlook on life, she manages to challenge old patterns, generating new ideas about what it is to be human.
