About
Jasper van den Ende is a photographer, filmmaker, and visual artist from the Netherlands. His work departs from the observation that natural darkness is increasingly being displaced by technological, economic, and infrastructural systems that seek to extend daylight beyond its natural rhythm.
Through photography, film, and experimental light-sensitive processes, he investigates how this transformation affects our relation to landscape, temporality, and the more-than-human world. In doing so, his artistic practice positions darkness as a necessary condition for perception, orientation, memory, and ecological coexistence.
Often centring on the interaction between (the absence of) artificial light and its natural environments, his work tends to balance between aesthetic expression and essayistic discourse. This manifests itself in an artistic practice that equally prioritises experimentation in its visual language, techniques and processes, and the eco-political or eco-social discourses that it constructs or conveys.
