Charlie
Jansen (b. 2000) lives and works in Rotterdam. She graduated from St Joost
School of Art & Design in 2023.
Charlie is
a visual artist working primarily with mixed-media sound installations.
Her installations treat materials as potential instruments, inviting them to
speak, vibrate, and respond. Driven by curiosity toward materiality and its
physical potential to generate sound, her practice combines technical, mechanical
and sonic research with sensory experimentation, resulting in immersive
installations that invite attentive listening
Her
research centers on the relationship between material and its perceiver,
questioning how attention can be drawn when sound is not immediately visible.
The beauty of sound, she feels, lies in the fact that it is a material one
cannot look away from. It is a sensory experience that washes over the
listener, sparking emotions and memories and creating a unique and intimate
experience for each individual.
