Jan Theun van Rees holds a life-long fascination for spatial representation on a flat picture plane. This has manifested to his specialisation in photographing (interior-) spaces. He gravitates to spaces that fascinate him, for example, when light plays an unexpected game in a small corner behind a door. His gaze at actual spaces is influenced by his studio work while afterwards the constructed spaces always appear to have their origin in previous spatial experiences. This studio and on-site interaction are inspirational and lead to many new insights and creative opportunities. From 2018 onwards, Jan Theun started constructing his own spaces, created just for the photograph; an intuitive and time intensive process. When he looks through his camera and experiences a space never seen before, he takes the photograph.

Jan Theun van Rees began with architectural photography, documenting overlooked spaces in museums and theatres. His practice has since moved from recording existing places to constructing temporary environments of his own. In Cyanorange, the subject is a space made through painted textiles, light and the artist’s changing point of view.
Van Rees adjusts the construction as he works, observing how each change affects the photograph. The image is therefore both a record and the outcome of an active process: a real arrangement of materials transformed into a space that exists for the camera and for the viewer’s eye. It continues his investigation into how photography can shape our perception of architecture, depth and place.
