‘Geraakt’ – Fenneke Hordijk, solo exhibition, sculptures
This exhibition offers an overview of the artist’s long-standing engagement with drawing, paper, and the search for new forms of storytelling. Central to the work are narratives of decay, destruction, war, illness, and death—motifs that became deeply personal through the history of the artist’s father, one of the 52,000 Rotterdam men deported as forced laborers to Germany in 1944. Language and poetry serve as key sources of inspiration, from early explorations of Lloyd Haft’s Psalms to more recent works that give visual form to untold stories, often those of women in wartime. Working with presses, sewing machines, and large-scale drawing, the artist seeks to depict, with minimal means, what resists being captured in words.
