【作家メッセージ】

We think it's a wonderful opportunity to be able to show our stories in a different environment and especially when it is Japan. We are looking forward to an exchange of ideas and an open dialogue with the guests of the gallery. If only it is a 3 weeks visit, sure enough Japan will amaze and surprise us and it will be a great source for creating new visual stories back home.

【作家プロフィール】

Frank Visser

After some "lost" years at university, I went to the Rietveld (Art) Academy in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I graduated there in 1993 with a liberal arts package, where I combined liberal arts subjects with design subjects. This combination of liberal arts and design has been the guiding principle in my subsequent career.

I work on commission for magazines and fashion works and, alongside it, have always had the urgency to create personal work.

Travelling is a passion and great inspiration.

Even when I make "settings" in my studio in the Netherlands, I travel.

I want to tell a story. From nothing, we make a whole world in a short time.

We capture this. And in reality, this is broken down again in the studio to give way to yet another new story. An adventure every time, where fantasy is the beginning and where the love for different materials, such as textiles, paper or wood and especially colour, create a whole new atmosphere.

Tjitske van Leeuwen

From the Orientation year at the Rietveld (Art) Academy in Amsterdam, it became clear to me that I wanted to develop in photography. I enrolled at the Fotoacademie Amsterdam and after graduating as a creative professional photographer, I started working for magazines and commercial clients.

After returning from a year of photography work in Sweden in 2017 at IKEA, I decided to make mainly personal images.

In summer 2019, I started collaborating with Frank Visser. We depict stories, focusing on making an imaginary world and photography. Last year, I picked up analogue photography again and make mainly black-and-white images with my analogue Hasselblad camera. I also develop and print the images in the darkroom in my studio in IJmuiden.

Besides photography, I teach at the Dutch Academy for Visual Creation in Amsterdam.
