Bildhalle Amsterdam is thrilled to present the second solo exhibition Remembrance premiering Ilona Langbroek’s latest artworks of her ongoing series Silent Loss. Her first solo exhibition was proudly presented by Bildhalle Amsterdam in September 2021. This exhibition received words of praise from around the world and henceforth Ilona Langbroek has developed into a photographer with an international platform. Prestigious auction house Phillips included her work in their ULTIMATE selection, Museum Hilversum has showcased her works in a duo exhibition titled Traces and in November 2023 the artist made her debut at renowned art fair Paris Photo.
In her series Silent Loss, Ilona Langbroek delves into a past permeated with the essence of loss. The story revolves around displacement rooted in the history of her grandparents in the Dutch East Indies. Her images serve as metaphors, symbolizing an identity long considered lost but still dormant beneath layers of history. They capture the yearning for a time, a country, and a life abruptly torn away, evoking a profound sense of loss and sorrow that shaped an entire generation.
