THE LAND BEHIND THE MIRROR
The Land Behind The Mirror (TLBTM) is an art collective. Our works are characterized by profound introspection: we question the underlying structures of our lived reality. We make our way through the subcutaneous passages of our body. We delve deeper into the depths of our minds related to our surroundings. We investigate time, imagination and perspective in newly formed landscapes.
We work with various techniques including photography, audiovisual/video, screen printing, text, collage, installation and mixed media. All members have different backgrounds and create work both individually and collaboratively.
Welcome to The Land Behind The Mirror.
ARTISTS
Alex Ploeger
Alida van Gool
Alida van Gool is a conceptual artist. She points to the constructed, subjective (and often somewhat absurd) nature of our beliefs, conventions and experiences of reality. She disrupts, holds up a mirror to the audience and encourages them to re-examine ingrained ideas about ourselves and our environment.
Marleen Dalhuijsen
Marleen Dalhuijsen focuses on transformation, both in personal and artistic processes. Through experiments and photographic images, she explores moments of transition and change, and the way transformations define us.
Rienk de Vries
In his work, Rienk de Vries searches for the relationship between the infinite and the microscopic. His poetic depictions of nature and life invite wonder and reflection about the origins and ephemerality of our existence.
Roald Wolters
Roald Wolters uses dark, dystopian images to portray the fear of the future and the consequences of human actions. His work is a visual confrontation with the threatening reality and an invitation to face our collective responsibilities.
SUNouSAN
SUNouSAN creates images about intimacy and freedom, created from her uninhibited view. She is inspired by the nuances of everyday life, nature and the beauty of the night. Her work makes way for personal interpretation and self-evaluation.
