Lives and works in Amsterdam and Mirns (NL)
Saskia Noor van Imhoff creates installations, sculptures and photographic works which question the idea of the singular or original artwork. She conceives of her process as marking a moment in time, a temporary combination of materials and circumstance which will inevitably undergo further permutations. Van Imhoff employs materials associated with contemporary architectural spaces such as plexiglass and neon lighting, and synthesizes them with found materials.
Most recently, she has expanded her focus to the land, acquiring a plot of rural farmland on the northern coast of the Netherlands. This plot of land has become, as she defines it, an ’organic collection’ that she has been exploring in her work ever since, as she restores, responds to, and works with the historic land she lives on today. Transplanting her studio practice to this former dairy farm in the Dutch countryside, Van Imhoff’s research has been drawn to the idea of the land as a repository of knowledge, an expression of its own history, and a resource to learn more about ourselves. The process of documenting and rehabilitating the site forms the basis of her work, creating installations that echo the space outside of their original environment - the resulting photographs and sculptural installations examining systems of perception, archiving and archaeology. While addressing ideas of stewardship and our responsibility to and reliance on the land, she also questions the idea of a collection as a knowledge system and a mechanism that selects, differentiates, and classifies.
