Joost Rekveld (1970) has been making abstract films and kinetic installations since 1991, originally inspired by the idea of a music for the eye. Through his invention of various animation techniques he became interested in the prehistory of moving image media, especially the technological history of perspective, optics, motion capture and scanning. These themes became the basis for a number of films and installations. His recent work is moving away from film towards more architectural and theatrical forms of articulated light.

From the pneumatic turmoil of the tension workshop a shiny airtight meeting room suited for anyone from ordinary folks to inflated executives, is part of a show at Looking Glass. The silvery plastic film houses the bodies and heads of three people at a time for an intimate meeting in the shared chamber. This triangular starfish evolved out of the experiments of Linda Karlsson. Her inflated costumes started to swallow-up more and more people, duos and eventually trios.
