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.

In this zone, not only the physical but also the mental well-being of the citizens is considered. In the gallery Garage Rotterdam two murals and a text have been applied to the windows. However, everyone and everything within the environmental zone is part of the job.
