Barbara Wildenboer
Barbara Wildenboer’s work consists of collages, photo and paper constructions, installations, digitally animated photographic sculptures, and book arts. She uses a combination of analogue and digital processes to produce a diverse and rich body of work, in which she investigates the philosophical concept of aesthetics, phenomena such as temporality, fractal geometry, and the interconnectedness of all living things – from the microscopic to the immense.
In her paper sculptures and collages, there is a playful aspect to creating references within other references. Resorting to images and information selected from various sources, Wildenboer constructs an alternate reality, reflecting on how humankind is affected by globalization, economic upheavals, scarcity, political corruption, wars, epidemics, and natural disasters.
