Yes

Five people of various ages: three women, two men. They look directly at the viewer and nod yes. The yes movements start quietly, evolve to extremes and then start again. New associations and meanings constantly emerge within these known movements. Van Geffen investigates the complex layers of shared human experience.
Roos van Geffen: “The central question I pose in my artistic practice is: What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to live and die, to feel and to be present in this world and in our body? I research different ways of revealing humanity itself. As an artist I strive to intertwine concept and sensual experience; to connect abstract ideas and fundamental questions to the temporal sensory experience of the audience. The body plays a central role in this exploration, being both a source of our experiences and a tool for interpreting and understanding them. In my artworks the body (or parts of it) is the interpreter of abstract ideas."
