Beholding is a project about the wonder of looking. As a continuation of Fien Brakkees graduation work ‘a beginning’, she keeps on exploring the idea of resembleing a nothingness. In this work she plays around with light, shadow, movement and rythmn, to try and capture liminal space – somwhere in between it all, there where light touches shadow, where spaces becomes athmosphere, and where a void becomes something graspable. As always Fien is not really looking for answers, and through questioning she wonders:

Beholding is a project about the idea of an in-between space or a thin place. Spaces where the walls of the world feel a little weak, where all becoming nothing and the same. In this work Fien plays around with light, shadow and movement, to continues to try and resemble a nothingness – a space in which liminal athmosphere becomes something graspable. This work in process is a way for her to keep asking question about how we receive spaces that we might not see but feel and experience.

"De benen nemen" (to take to one's legs/to bolt)—why do we say it that way? Instead of just saying "I'm leaving"? At the same time, people are judged if they don't speak "correct" Dutch. We accept all sorts of crazy proverbs, yet a tiny grammatical error can sometimes be enough to dismiss someone.I am fascinated by how we communicate with one another. How we take it for granted. How words follow rules, how objects communicate with us, and how we, in turn, interpret them. And then there are those proverbs, which often describe things whose meaning is no longer literal at all. Do we truly understand each other, or is that not the case and are we just pretending? In my work, I look for the confusion within proverbs sometimes by depicting them literally, sometimes by changing something small about them.
