Sheet of thick mica, to be fixed by 4 nails in the corner of 2 walls, 'to catch the light.'

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.

Ann Veronica Janssens (Belgium, 1956) is a Belgian contemporary visual artist based in Brussels. Her work is an invitation to ephemeral experiences, which are at times delirious or vertiginous, using sculpture materials with light and space to give the viewer an outer world experience with their senses.

- Ann Veronica Janssens

Ann Veronica Janssens is a notable visual artist who has received worldwide recognition for her light-centred work. Janssens initial foray into art was inspired by her underlying fascination with reality and perception – she emphasises the fragility of human perception and often uses themes such as light distribution, colour radiance and surface types (translucent or reflective) as a means of highlighting the ever-changing perception of time and space. Janssens’ own unique take on art sees her reject the use of objects – she feels objects to be useless in their materiality and instead creates installations such as ‘mist sculptures’, surrounding her viewers in clouds of multi-coloured, dense, thick smoke as a means of challenging their own sensory experiences and perceptions; this technique was famously used in her yellowbluepink exhibition at the Wellcome Collection. Janssens work, on the whole, is made for the individual as opposed to the masses – she knows that each person will have a different experience from her art, serving her purpose of challenging reality as we know it.

What is minimalism?

Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
