Fiona Lutjenhuis -
Fiona Lutjenhuis’ (NL, 1991) work moves from installations to artist books and from commissioned works to self initiated projects. Her speculative imagery fits perfectly in the contemporary discourse on a post positivist society. In every image we can feel the humour and courage to dive into worlds without strongholds.
Being raised in a cult she grew up with ideas about the world completely different from her contemporaries. Leaving her family quite young she gradually came to terms with this upbringing and found a way to take it on as a topic. In a sense you could say she’s ahead of a lot of us in being intimate with convictions very alien to common knowledge. Secret societies, mixtures of sci-fi and esoterism, beings form other planets interfering with our world, she heard it all as a child and developed a strong autonomous rationality to balance it.
