Isla Ometepe
The landscape seems to open up and shift on top of each other. Overlaps, duplications and reflections make the viewer aware of his actual space. Karen Vermeren confronts the viewer with the uncontrollable origin of every landscape.
She visited last summer the very active fault line where two tectonic plates collide, the Pacific Plate and the Caribbean Plate in Nicaragua. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are frequently changing the surface of the earth.
Vermeren painted the Island Ometepe (‘two hills’) on plastics and repeated them from several points of view. Two different volcanoes created the island. They relate to the contours of the outside trees.
