Synopsis

Panta Rhei is an old philosophical saying by Heraclitus that can be interpreted as “all that is observable flows continuously.” In the spirit of this reflection, Daan Paans (NL) attempts with Floating Signifiers to provide insight into the constant transformation that things and phenomena undergo. The case studies in this book show how primal archetypes continue to shape our contemporary (visual) culture in their ‘transmuted’ forms. With the ambiguous nature of his work, Paans aims to point to our deeply cherished bond with ‘ecology’, but also to offer the insight that this ecology is subject to an evolutionary process of transformation.

À propos de l?auteur

Daan Paans (1985) studied photography at the St. Joost Academy in Breda. In his artistic practice, he studies processes of imaging that have developed throughout history in an original way, in order to gain insight into how our view of the world has been shaped and formed. His research into these cultural evolutions gives us insight into possible original ideas of being human and the relationship we have with ecology. His projects require long-term artistic research, with the end result varying in different media. His work has been exhibited in FOAM Amsterdam, FOAM talent in New York and London, the Müncher Stadtmuseum, Museum Belvedere Heerenveen and Museum CODA Apeldoorn, among others. After Letters from Utopia (2013), Floating Signifiers (2025) is Paans’ second book to be published by The Eriskay Connection.
