In everyday life, elementary phenomena are taken for granted while navigating the busyness of everyday life. When we pause and allow ourselves a moment of intensified observation, we wonder and might even raise questions about reality itself. This pursuit of uncertainty becomes alchemy, investigating the relationship between light and matter. The artworks trace the materiality of light and the ways in which – as energy always transforms – light inhabits a solid form.

Jacqueline Hen often uses spatial interventions to create places of social interaction and transformation. Performative elements meet installative arrangements. In her artistic practice, which encompasses both physical and virtual environments, she examines how natural phenomena and artificial technology affect social interaction.
