Roald Wolters
Artist Statement
I am a visual artist and use photography, video and sound to manifest my perception of the world. The field of tension between know and fear is central to my work, in particular my fear of the future of the world. Even though society as it is clearly passed its expiry date, mankind still remains dismissive and continues down the current road. In my work I investigate my fear and try to make the consequences of our action, or better inaction, tangible.
My approach is filmic; scene-setting without a specific time and place, in the absence of people, and without direct clarity about what happend of what will happen. From the darkness, a word becomes visible by the use of scarce lighting. The light shapes the darkness en pulls you into the word. But which world?
