Suzan van der Loo, Eleye’s ouder, hielp mee aan het maken van de muurschildering waarop een sprookje is uitvergroot dat Eleye schreef als 7-jarige in dezelfde maand als de scheiding van haar ouders.

De Ateliers Amsterdam
curated by Fabian Schöneich
This exhibition concluded two years of working at post-academic institute De Ateliers in Amsterdam. Various works show the different media, materials and people that take part in Eleye’s practice. For example the nightstand piece, a collected object from the family home, a short experimental film portraits her relationship with her mother in a conflict about the family table. The swearwords often used by her father and a monumental picture of the father’s torso with relationship tattoo, he and her mother still wear after their divorce, stands in the middle of the space.
Deze tentoonstelling rondde de tweejarige werkperiode af waarin Eleye werkte bij de post-academische instelling De Ateliers in Amsterdam. In deze tentoonstelling zijn werken gekozen die de verschillende materialen, technieken en personen laten zien die een rol spelen in Eleye’s werk. Een voorbeeld is het nachtkastje waar haar broertje naast is geboren en De Eetkamertafel (2020), waarin de relatie tussen haarzelf en haar moeder zichtbaar wordt in een conflict over de familietafel. Verder toonde ze de scheldwoorden van haar vader en een monumentale foto met zijn torso met een relatie tattoo van haar gescheiden ouders, staat in het midden van de ruimte.
