Anne-Marije Middag

I’m a Dutch artist and illustrator living in Turin, Italy.

The moment one observes, a judgment is already there. We look at a situation or person with an expectation and an assumption. What if we allow ourselves time to observe longer?


I investigate how people relate to themselves, the Other and their environment. I myself as a maker and the viewer are confronted with how we look, have expectations and judge. Can we delay our first interpretation, observe slowly and become more connected to everything around us?
