OIKOS

OIKOS is a photographic exploration of our experience of space and spatiality; physically as well as emotionally. Light reveals and obscures, emptiness holds meaning. Inspired by my sheltered yet oppressive childhood, the series examines how inner and outer worlds shape one another.

About Artist

Annet Neijmeijer

Annet Neijmeijer is a contemporary visual artist, focusing on an in-depth exploration of space, time, and light; and the ways in which these elements interrelate. Annet is deeply fascinated by how we experience these phenomena. Space, time, and light are coordinates in our lives, anchor points that help us understand where and when we are. They carry emotion, memory, and awareness. How we relate to space, time, and light is the central question that drives her work. At the same time, they are also fundamental principles in physics, the basis for theories about the origin and structure of the universe. These are laws that offer clarity and structure. Annet brings these two approaches together: the personal and emotional experience on the one hand, and theoretical abstraction on the other. This results in photographic works and multimedia installations in which the viewer can experience these elements in a deeply personal way. In 2024 Annet graduated with honors from the Photoacademie in Amsterdam. Since then her work has been exhibited multiple times and has been published in PFmagazine and Het Parool.
