Sheet of thick mica, to be fixed by 4 nails in the corner of 2 walls, 'to catch the light.' Certificate of authenticity (MDD) with installation instructions, signature, date, and number in pencil by hand. - Red circle on this image to visualize the transparent sheet of mica, in the corner of 2 walls. Ann Veronica Janssens’ Untitled (Tentoonstelling tussenin / in-between) (1998) is a conceptual wall-based work consisting of a transparent sheet of thick mica installed in the corner between two walls. Nearly invisible except through reflections and subtle shifts of light, the piece transforms architectural space into a perceptual experience. Janssens is known for works that explore immateriality, sensory perception, and the instability of visual awareness through light, transparency, and atmosphere. Here, the mica surface functions less as an object than as a catalyst for changing reflections and spatial awareness. The work invites slow observation, encouraging viewers to become conscious of light, movement, and the surrounding environment. Its minimal presence reflects Janssens’ ongoing investigation into the boundaries between visibility and disappearance.

What is ‘light and space’?
The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
