Term: February 2020 – June 2020
“In my painting practice I investigate the impact of history and remembrance on a collective level. I use the medium of painting to build a new structure for the reflection of memory and the impact of images on the way memory is conceived. In my paintings, human figures are cut out brutally from their surroundings, portraits are formed of collected images, and the surface of a painting becomes a façade. Working with these different layers I question the complexity of the real in an age of manufactured copies. Certain images stick with us through time and become icons in the collective memory. I draw parallels and create juxtapositions, between historical facts about war and the notion of my family history, historical traumas and contemporary problems of trustworthiness and value of images.
Right now, I am working on a series called ‘DEEP FAMILY’ in which I work together with designer Casper Schipper and artificial intelligence to visualise the way we perceive family and memory in the light of new technology.”
