Jan Theun van Rees holds a life-long fascination for spatial representation on a flat picture plane. This has manifested to his specialisation in photographing (interior-) spaces.  He gravitates to spaces that fascinate him, for example, when light plays an unexpected game in a small corner behind a door. His gaze at actual spaces is influenced by his studio work while afterwards the constructed spaces always appear to have their origin in previous spatial experiences. This studio and on-site interaction are inspirational and lead to many new insights and creative opportunities. From 2018 onwards, Jan Theun started constructing his own spaces, created just for the photograph; an intuitive and time intensive process. When he looks through his camera and experiences a space never seen before, he takes the photograph.
