Viviane Sassen — Parasomnia
Viviane Sassen

Parasomnia

A striking chromogenic print by Dutch photographer Viviane Sassen, *Parasomnia* draws the viewer into a dreamlike, surreal world where the human body becomes abstracted through bold contrasts of light and shadow. Sassen's signature use of intense color and fragmented forms evokes a sense of psychological unease, blurring the boundaries between sleep and wakefulness, the conscious and unconscious. The work reflects her broader exploration of identity, desire, and the uncanny, rooted in both her European sensibility and her childhood experiences in Africa.
