New NFT project 81 Landscapes by Rafaël Rozendaal | Art Rotterdam launch

During Art Rotterdam 2024, we proudly present a new NFT project by Rafaël Rozendaal: 81 Landscapes. 

81 Landscapes is a collection of 81 on-chain* NFT landscapes by Rafaël Rozendaal and builds on his earlier NFT collection 81 Horizons that was central to his solo exhibition at Folkwang Museum in Essen in 2023 and was acquired by collections such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

81 Landscapes is a series of still images that suggest landscapes wherein the abstraction of the images leaves the viewer with the suggestion, or even creation, of movement, as though the places represented are waiting for something to happen in them. The viewer is left captivated with anticipation, much like before the start of a videogame, or as the artist puts it –‘the suggestion of movement is more interesting than animating it, the works are like an empty room full of possibilities.’

* On-chain: The purest form of NFT existence, wherein an NFT is completely hosted on the Ethereum blockchain, without it depending on other services.
