Silvia Bakker

Every work starts from an interest in the actions of man. I 'm fascinated by how we see reality trough the different interpretation of it. I start collecting my equipment to observe and analyze our daily reality. In conversations with the other, I find my own beliefs and I look for distinctive events. Occurrences, which illustrate belief, convictions and confidence. These aspects I use as a starting point for my visual work. From there I decide what the appropriate medium is, this can be a video installation, a public intervention or a performance.

Through my work I try to create several options for our reality, by telling stories from my perspective. By doing this, my own preconceived opinions always get involved in the work, and function as a reflection point.
