Description

The installation, titled ‘As far as I Know,’ involves 92 paintings, all sized 65 x 50 cm. The theme of this installation is the origins of Caja Boogers, who has an Indonesian mother and a Dutch father, and thus grew up between two cultures. With this work, Boogers personally addresses the theme of immigration and the mixing of cultures, building on his installation Retelling, which was shown at Art Rotterdam and was acquired by Museum Voorlinden in Wassenaar.



As a visual starting point, Boogers has selected six black-and-white photographs from family albums of relatives he hardly knew. Details from these photographs form the subjects of the individual paintings. By isolating details, repeating them and working them out in different colours, a dynamic, visual contemplation of his background emerges, sharing his experience of growing up between two cultures. His latest work combines a painterly urge to comprehend an image through repetitive painting with a deep personal nostalgia that persists within the Indo-Dutch community. It’s a collective sentiment over a bygone era, or even a non-existent era, that’s ultimately embedded in the artist’s upbringing.



'(...) it is a touching idea that Caja Boogers has decided that the paintings in ‘As far as I know,’ do not have to stay together. After the exhibition at Galerie Gerhard Hofland, the works will spread out across the globe. From then on, every viewer or buyer will know that she or he is seeing only one part of the original work of art. ‘As far as I know,’ will itself become a memory.' - Hans den Hartog Jager
