Rachel de Joode at Kunstfort

Kunstfort bij Vijfhuizen proudly pre­sents Rachel de Joode – Flat Nature / Surface Bodies. In the “Ge­nieloods” and on the is­land, Rachel de Joode (NL, 1979 – lives in Berlin) shows a com­pre­hen­sive ex­hi­bi­tion of new work, in­cluding five out­door sculp­tures.

De Joode was one of the first to com­bine sculp­tural ob­jects and pho­to­graphic prints with ref­er­ence to in­ternet aes­thetics. The artist is known for her “sculp­tural pho­tog­raphy”, for which she prints and cuts pic­tures of nat­ural ma­te­rials in or­ganic forms.

Re­cently De Joode de­vel­oped new works in which only the sculp­tural frame is left. The flat ob­jects in public space res­onate with the om­nipres­ence of image in our con­tem­po­rary so­ciety, but also with the plane sur­round­ings of the Kunstfort. The land­scape be­comes a “bühne”, in which De Joode’s im­ages take the lead. But to what ex­tent will na­ture let re­duce it­self to just a frame?
