Base Line - Music Meets Art

Ter gelegenheid van het 200-jarig bestaan van het Koninklijk Conservatorium komen in de tentoonstelling Base Line - Music Meets Art werelden van beeldende kunst en muziek samen. Een aantal kunstenaars is tevens gevraagd om een relatie aan te gaan met een instrument uit de collectie. 

In mijn geval is dat de zeldzame theremin. In een speciaal ingerichte ruimte presenteer ik mijn installatie LEVARE, waarin ik gebruik maak van de Pepper’s Ghost-techniek: een optische illusie waarbij een zwevende vrouw verschijnt. De installatie is geïnspireerd op het leven van de mystica Christina Mirabilis, van wie werd gezegd dat zij kon leviteren.

Voor dit werk liet ik een muziekstuk componeren door muzikant Sterre Konijn, waarin de theremin een centrale rol speelt.

Daarnaast zijn er twee fotografische werken van mij te zien. Eén daarvan gaat een dialoog aan met een lithografie van Toulouse-Lautrec.

Netherlands Film Fund

Grateful to the Filmfonds for supporting our film MIRABILIS! In collaboration with Studio Biarritz, we’re excited to bring this story to life. Planning to begin filming in Summer 2026.

De Echte Amsterdammer

Elke maand deelt een Amsterdammer zijn of haar favoriete plekken in de stad. Deze keer: Tara Fallaux (53). Fotograaf en filmmaker, geboren en getogen in Amsterdam.

Je mooiste herinnering aan de stad?

‘Als jongere rolschaatste ik samen met mijn vriendinnen door de stad. Ik had de skates altijd aan, ook op school of als ik ging dansen bij Dansen bij Jansen. Op het Montessori Lyceum vonden ze het prima als ik op rolschaatsen in de klas zat. Nu is de stad te druk, maar vroeger waren skates een prima vervoersmiddel.’

Women in Art Diptych

De Hallen Amsterdam until March 10, Mercatorplein until March 19, Westerpark until April 7.

For Women in Art I was inspired by a special love couple who were pioneers in modern dance and special effects during the first feminist wave. Loïe Fuller (1862-1928) and Gab Sorère (1870-1961). Loïe was the first American dancer to conquer Europe during the Belle Époque. She took off the corset and danced barefoot to classical music. Fuller used movement, fabric, light and illusion to bring abstract shapes to life with her body and to imitate natural phenomena. Loïe was a master of illusion, disguise and revelation, but she never cast a veil over who she was or who she loved. In Paris she started a relationship with Gab Sorère, who was 8 years younger. Gab worked as a stage designer, special effects inventor and filmmaker. Through light and illusion, Sorère was able to make dancers disappear on stage. An inspiring couple who lived their lives against the norms and expectations of their time.

Now on display at Het Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam

BEST DUTCH BOOK DESIGN

‘This intimate photo book in a signed, numbered edition of 250 copies, features truly fantastic spreads. Thanks to a folding technique that is as simple as it is effective, this becomes an interplay between different layers of experience: online and offline, inner and outer world, dream and reality. Perfect Pearl has a sewn binding in a cover with grooves, which is then quarter-folded to give a format of 170×280 mm. Intimate details remain hidden behind the fold, and can be seen only once the pages have been completely unfolded. This fold results in beautiful combinations of images – each page is as surprising as the last and we feel that we just have to keep on unfolding. An intimate, physical experience which one jury member remarked could be a nod to erotic magazines, which would be carried rolled up or folded to hide their content…’

Until January 07 2024

UNBOUND 2023

Happy to announce that my brand new film/ photo installation will have a premiere at the curated exhibition of UNSEEN this year. 21-24 September 2023

Unbound is an independent foundation of Unseen, dedicated to exploring the expanding outer limits of the photographic universe on a monumental scale, and Unseen’s most ambitious project to date. In 2023 Emma Bowkett (Curator and Director of Photography of Financial Times Magazine) will be curating the exhibition where photography crosses over into digital art, installations, performance art, sculpture, virtual reality and video art.

Tara Fallaux. La natura dell’amore

Tara Fallaux è un’artista multimediale di Amsterdam che si muove tra fotografia, film e installazioni, sempre all’avanguardia nel campo del documentario e dell’arte visiva. L’immaginario di Tara è visivamente forte, come le storie che racconta, emotivamente coinvolgenti, che sollevano dubbi e quesiti nello spettatore più che dare risposte. La maggior parte dei progetti a lungo termine dell’artista è un’indagine sulla società, sull’amore, sulla perdita, sulle illusioni, sulla vulnerabilità e sulle complessità psicologiche e culturali che si intrecciano.
