Having primarily photographed vacant interior spaces - museums, depots, and newly constructed residential buildings - in the past, Satijn Panyigay now shifts her attention to urban exteriors with her new series “Nightcall“. Embarking on solitary nocturnal strolls through her hometown of Utrecht and Frankfurt am Main, she seeks unintentional compositions within urban structures.

Utilizing the minimal light of the moon and street lamps in her analogue photographs, Panyigay blurs the distinction between them. Thus, amidst the bleak, monotonous, and utilitarian industrial landscape, captivating contrasts emerge.

Paradoxically, the absence of people in Satijn Panyigay's photographs evokes a sense of presence. Drawn to the ethereal realm of the night and its enigmatic ambiance, the artist invites us into encounters with a parallel world, reflecting our own, albeit with an eerie distance.
