Noortje Stortelder is a visual artist and lives, works in Rotterdam.
"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.

Imagine you’re a professional photographer (if you’re not the one already), why do you need a high-resolution camera? Some might find the question obvious, so does the Brazilian photographer Gleeson Paulino. For him it’s primarily about the colour, which invincibility is worth fighting for, since it expresses the very spirit of nature.

When does this magic moment occur that defines the photograph as a work of art? While the photographer looks around to excerpt the right sujet from the surrounding, or perhaps once the sujet has been determined and the author pushes the camera button? Can it be the certain context evolving later, which makes the photograph true art or there might be something intangible and magnetic in the work a priori? Whatever it is, each artist has one’s own philosophy and way to capture the most inspiring negatives of the reality.
