Pretty Dark

Until 4 May 2025 from 10:00 to 16:00

Exhibition

Jongeren van nu groeien op in een wereld waar sociale druk en prestaties een grote rol spelen. Annabel Oosteweeghel maakt dit tastbaar in de tentoonstelling Pretty Dark. De fotoserie onthult op filmische wijze het mentale welzijn van jongeren.

Een volmaakte bubbel

Voortdurend worden jongeren geconfronteerd met foto’s en filmpjes van mensen die er perfect uitzien en alleen maar leuke dingen doen. Opgroeien in deze bubbel van irreëel beeld maakt jongeren kwetsbaar. De druk om op sociale media een perfecte online persoonlijkheid te creëren, kan leiden tot onrealistische verwachtingen en een constante zoektocht naar validatie. Daarnaast blijkt dat de lockdowns nog steeds een grote impact hebben op de jeugd. Eén op de drie jongeren heeft last van psychische klachten zoals faalangst, depressie, angst, stress, suïcidale gedachten en eenzaamheid.

Kracht

Annabel Oosteweeghel portretteerde 10 jongeren, deels uit Amersfoort, deels uit de rest van Nederland in de leeftijd van 15 tot 25 jaar, ieder met hun eigen unieke verhaal. De setting van de fotoserie is veelal schilderachtig. Zo werkte ze dit keer samen met kunstenaar en modestylist Frank Visser.

Verstild

De foto’s zijn zorgvuldig geënsceneerd en esthetisch in beeld gebracht. Het zijn verstilde momenten waar de geportretteerden zich in bevinden, bevroren in de tijd waarin ze zich al te zelfbewust een identiteit proberen aan te meten. Elk portret wordt aangevuld met een persoonlijk interview over hoe het is om op te groeien in een steeds veranderende wereld.
