Biography

Saskia Noor van Imhoff’s oeuvre examines systems, hierarchical structures, and ideas about collecting. While addressing the underlying dynamics that lead to decisions about what we keep for the future, and what we decide to dispose of, she questions the idea of a collection as a knowledge system and a mechanism that selects, differentiates, and classifies. She approaches these structures using a variety of media such as photography, sculpture and architecture, which merge into a whole in her installations. Recently she expanded her focus to a historic rural farmland in the Dutch countryside that she defines as an ’organic-collection’; the plot can be seen as a repository of knowledge, expression of its past and resource for understanding ourselves today. In her works components from the land are cultivated, processed and put together. By rethinking, re-contextualising and reclaiming a site new relationships are born, and new concepts of nature develop in order to rethink the land and its use, value, and legacy.

Together with her partner, Van Imhoff is the co-founder of REST, an artistic research foundation in Friesland (NL)
