The series Circuit came about in reference to the book “Circle Surface Sun – From Somewhere in the Mediterranean”, published by Irena Eden and Stijn Lernout together with the Kunstverein Konstanz in 2020. In the book, the artist duo asked 23 authors from all countries adjoining the Mediterranean to contribute texts on the perception of light where they live. The book “Circle Surface Sun” was born from these essays with their highly personal, yet at the same time political content, together with a series of photographs of light reflections on the surface of the sea. To accompany the book, a frottage process was used to transfer the photographs onto handmade paper for further processing. Fine lines and geometric shapes are reminiscent of a surveying or coordinate system; of stopping points or orientation aides in a boundless space.

Kollitsch collection

Irena Eden and Stijn Lernout work with geometrical bodies which are taken apart and then reorganised and distorted to create new perspectives. The duo's works are bound to a system of coordinates that also directs the sculptures on their way to occupying three-dimensional space.

The artistic activities of Irena Eden and Stijn Lernout are based on explorations of the varying conditions and parameters of space. This exploration of the linear relationships in spatial structures is not only articulated in their drawings and objects, it also serves as an inspiration for their large-scale projects, in which they extend the term "space" to encompass cities and geographical regions. At the same time, space as a mathematical display form is elevated to a place in which experiences and sensations meet.

Engaging with the different realities and parameters of space forms the basis of the artistic activity of Irena Eden and Stijn Lernout. The exploration of linear relations within spatial structures is dominant in their drawings and objects as well as being the inspiration behind their large-scale projects, in which they extend the concept of space to include cities and geographic areas. Space as a mathematical form of perception becomes a place of encounter for experiences and emotions.
