bio

In her photos, videos and drawings, Anne Daems shows specific qualities of everyday life, inconspicuous actions and events which at first sight are insignificant. That what seems like a snapshot or a simple drawing is in fact much more sophisticated. She succeeds in accumulating details on a particular subject – usually a person – so as to reveal an entire microcosm. The spectacular nature of these works lies precisely in the non-spectacular aspect. Nothing is of importance and yet everything is meaningful and mysterious.
