Maarten Broekhuizen
Maarten Broekhuizen works with photography, and is fuelled by a fascination with this medium in its complicated relation and continuous struggle with “reality”. With the increased manipulation of images, it becomes harder to distinguish what can be seen as real. To him, it‘s constructed
representations that form our reality. This mode of ‘active construction’ is what forms the base of his practice. Using different photographic techniques, he investigates the medium itself and builds on fragments of the image making process, repurposing the technique until it becomes the
subject. ‘By focusing on the construction of the image I reflect on photography using its own language while questioning the boundaries of a photograph.’
