Sjors Smit
archieven - artistiek onderzoek - conceptueel - installatie - sculptuur
Sjors Smit (1997) graduated in 2021 from Sint Joost School of Art & Design as an autonomous visual artist and lives and works in Rotterdam. Through his multidisciplinary practice, he mainly focuses on creating spatial installations that seek dialogue with their immediate surroundings. Exploring various ways the course of time can be experienced is an important source of inspiration for his artistic process.
By examining different metaphors that influence the interpretation of past events, he reconstructs elements from distinctive processes that apply a poetic charge to a specific location. In doing so, he invites the viewer to see the relevant space from an archival perspective. His work arises within a tension between construction and destruction, between desire and memory; consisting of attempts to connect the environments we live in with an existent timeline.
