Museum Talk & Tour: Ilona Plaum
At the end of March, we step into the world of Ilona Plaum during an exclusive Talk & Tour of her solo exhibition ‘Presence' at Huis Marseille in Amsterdam. Guided by the artist herself, we’ll explore how she uses layered imagery — a blend of photography, maquettes, and painted scenes — to question time and space.
In her work, surface and depth merge, shadows become almost tangible, and deliberate imperfections create a subtle sense of disorientation. The exhibition engages in a unique dialogue with the historic interiors of Huis Marseille, incorporating custom-designed wallpaper, paper shadows and spatial installations that reference her studio.
