Thomas Kuijpers’ investigative works start with his daily experience of current events, happenings that rapidly become a kaleidoscope of diverse, overlapping, conflicting perspectives, including his own. Each event is copied and pasted indefinitely through an endless media landscape, and it is these copies - images, articles, conversations, videos, memorabilia, quotes - that Kuijpers habitually collects over years, forming archives of competing realities.

Acting as artist, editor, and hoarder simultaneously, he scrutinises and rearranges his archives until the structures of our media-saturated world are uncovered. Kuijpers then assembles his findings into new constellations, often taking the form of multimedia installations, inviting us to be aware of the illusions and rhetoric that mould our everyday lives. Ironically, it is only through Kuijpers’ obsession with the minute parts of the world that we see just how fragile it is as a whole.
