Holland Festival: Anohni - She who saw beautiful things
Associate artist ANOHNI presents the mixed media exhibition SHE WHO SAW BEAUTIFUL THINGS. The installation includes a series of portraits paying homage to ANOHNI's former collaborator Dr Yulia Yasuda. These portraits were taken by Julia's late wife, Erika Yasuda, in Tokyo in the early 1980s and are exhibited for the first time at Huis Willet-Holthuysen.

She who saw beautiful things
For this exhibition at Huis Willet-Holthuysen in the centre of Amsterdam, ANOHNI places photographs, screen-printed fabrics, surrealist objects and painting from her artistic practice in a selection of Erika Yasuda's photos. The work reflects an isolated and subtly composed vision of enlightened femininity and lavish androgyny, which lives on in memory despite historical and ongoing existential threats.
A limited edition book of SHE WHO SAW BEAUTIFUL THINGS is available exclusively at the exhibition.
ANOHNI: 'I like the concept of 'animism' - that everything is alive, in a constant process of transformation - and that all materiality is imbued with a certain presence, even a sense of memory that we may not fully understand. I work with veils as a metaphor for different layers of time existing simultaneously. Sometimes I imagine the cacophony of present moments populating a timeline, if they could all express their vitality at the same time.'
