Karen Vantvelt
Karen Vantvelt (°1986) experiments with dialogue and natural (instinctive) movement and questions ignorance and everyday issues. She makes them relatable, accessible and receptive in a search for the essence of life.
Using installations, interactions and performances, she shows her interpretation of experiences and findings about naturalness. Asking herself whether the obvious is obvious.
By noticing and magnifying essential life questions that turn out to be both trivial and fundamental, intriguing interactions emerge that lead to greater awareness. To get even closer to person- and time-specific fine-grained impressions and thoughtful observations, Karen aims to further develop and deepen her artistic research.
