A Family Affair - a painting installation and flipbook

A Family Affair (2024) consists of forty paintings that together visualize the continuous movement of windscreen wipers. The abstracted, rhythmic lines allude to the confined space inside a car. It is a place that offers a safe and tranquil environment for making connections, where you are forced to spend time with each other, in a positive sense. A bubble with room for conversation, but also a space where stagnation and movement seem to coincide. Roeper: ‘The windscreen wipers are simultaneously trivial and universal. They remind me of both my early childhood and more recent situations. But they are also symbolic of memories I have yet to make. To me they therefore represent moments that transcend time.’
