Statement

installations / video / painting

The visual work of Amsterdam based artist Jacqueline Kooter is about both the strength and the vulnerability of the human body and about the complexity of human relations.

She is specialized in site-specific installations and in the production of meticulously made short animation-like videos. In these videos she creates an imaginary world in paint, where human figures are moving around; sometimes real people (dancers) and sometimes cut out paper figures. They move in real time and/or by stop motion.

On several projects she has been working together with the Rotterdam based contemporary dance-company Conny Janssen Danst.

Jacqueline Kooter holds a Master in artistic education and exhibited in Europe, the USA and Hong Kong.
Her videos have been screened at several international (dance- and short-) film festivals in Europe, USA, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Japan.
