About the exhibition

For her first solo exhibition, Janne Gistelinck brings together several striking textile artworks at cc De Schakel. Starting from the Jacquard weaving technique, Gistelinck experiments with digital imagery of the human body and its anatomy, transforming them into an alienating, anonymous landscape. This landscape never stands still; it exists in a state of constant mutation. The body we know so intimately suddenly becomes a terra incognita—deceptively recognizable, like a map without a sea. Viewers are invited to interact and reflect upon this ambiguous, semi-human landscape.
