marjolijn kok

analytical - collage

kok does not limit herself to a specific medium, but collages, digital drawings, collecting, photography and video are her main tools. In her own work kok keen is on the aporetic turn of reclaiming historical traces and turning them into contemporary actions. Her work involves long term projects and events that focus on the connections between and the perceptions of people and their material context. At the moment she is working on the long-term project Relational Theory: The Opera, which wants to transform theoretical insights into a playful multimedia installation.
