Anouk Kruithof 1981
Lives in NL, BE & Suriname. Works in NL, BE & Suriname.
Represented by:
Galerie Caroline O'Breen
Anouk Kruithof (1981, NL) is a visual artist whose multilayered approach encompasses photography, sculpture, installation, photo-montage, text, performance, video and interventions in the public space. Kruithof lives and works between Belgium, The Netherlands, and the Amazon rainforest in Suriname. Her work is an investigation into the online representation of urgent societal themes, like government surveillance, pollution or climate change. The scope of her world view extends from environmental pollution and the consequences of global warming to government surveillance practices, privacy to protest, and anonymity to signs of nervousness such as stress and exhaustion, shame and social discomfort - all in an effort to address a collective consciousness of human failing towards planet earth, at large.
Kruithof’s work explores a ‘contemporary schizophrenia’ which can be seen as an indelible mental disease of contemporary life. By continually navigating between the digital and physical experiential sphere, Kruithof investigates a collective state of mind that is not solely grounded in the material world, but more and more often in the relentless flow of images in an amorphous digital world. She contemplates a world consisting of a relentless stream of edited, constructed, spliced-together images that have lost their credibility: reality today is thoroughly scripted and subject to permanent post-production.
Her work depicts the transience and the chaos of this world, which the artist skillfully addresses by mixing urgent societal issues with personal experiences that simultaneously represent this state prevalent in our society today. Kruithof tries to reveal ‘the nerves of the time’ by deftly identifying social, psychological and ethical dilemmas. Observing, analyzing, collecting, acting and reacting inform her playful and personal work method, which does not at all detract from her serious approach as a social and political agent; the personal has become political in this time and Kruithof formulates a highly personal and idiosyncratic view of this world.
