CV
Wanda Tuerlinckx (1969) is a Belgian photographer based in Amsterdam. Her photos are part of the collections of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and the Amsterdam City Archives.
Wanda started to work with 19th Century wooden box cameras in 2012. She is fascinated by the very slow style of classic photography with long exposure times and only a few photos per session.
In collaboration with Prof. dr. Erwin R. Boer, professor of Cognitive Robotics at Delft University of Technology, she has been working since 2015 on the series Robot Portraits which combines characteristics of art and scientific photography. In recent years they have been visiting the leading scientific institutes and universities to photograph the revolutionary developments in the field of robotics.
