Biography

Beatrijs Albers is a multidisciplinary artists mainly working with installation and video.
Her research, in which she has an affinity with space, limits and social constructions, continues in the exhibition territory. It fosters a confrontation between the real and the artificial, the public and the perception of space.
Albers challenges manifestations of power not by redrawing their outlines, but by incorporating them into experience as a mode of continual displacement in space, time and their mental arrangements.
