Her oeuvre
now encompasses dozens of monumental works. It is difficult
to gain a coherent overview, because these works stand dispersed
at numerous locations across the Netherlands. This website is
probably the most suitable way to provide an overview, bringing
together several works in documentary form. However, it is primarily
something to experience and perceive. Despite the usually straightforward
vocabulary, in her work you find yourself in a visual maze of
visual associations. There is no escape: it disappears in front
of your eyes, because you no longer need an exit. It is a rich
idiom. You play a film in your mind’s eye, making a montage
of the images provided by Titia Ex that results in a coherent
narrative for you personally. Anyone who sees the work of Ex
can make sense of it for themselves by looking actively. Experience
the work and be absorbed into its domain, its atmosphere.
