"I want to give the viewer a new experience. This experience is based on my own reality and search for life, meaning of existence and purpose on earth. Who am I in relation to time, space and other beings? How do others see themselves and me? I now frequently use photography and film as the basis of my work but I still think sculpturally. Layer over layer over layer, editing as a digital sculptor. Our reality is hugely complex and layer. I do not always know what my reality is and from that confusion my work arises."
I caught up with Noortje on her work process and the latest developments.

Conceptual art emerged at the end of the sixties, bringing a new meaning to photography that transcends its use for portraiture, landscapes and snapshots, thus the term Conceptual Photography derives from Conceptual Art movement. Conceptual photography does not reproduce the beauty of the world around us. It therefore stands in opposition to art photography and Fine Art.

Derived from the French verb coller, meaning “to glue,” collage refers to both the technique and the resulting work of art in which fragments of paper and other materials are arranged and glued or otherwise affixed to a supporting surface. The development of collage techniques in the 20th century is associated with the names of Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso and Juan Gris. The term "collage" itself was first applied to the works of Dadaists and Surrealists. Later it was also used in relation to other arts: literature, music, cinema, etc.
René Magritte is one of the brightest representatives of surrealism. He was a researcher, an art thinker and an image philosopher. His paintings are puzzles that explore the relationship between objects.
