Portrait (caricature) of Montmartre in Paris.
Emma Van der Put (Olanda, 1988). Dutch artist, study at De Ateliers, Amsterdam and at AKV St. Joost Bachelor of Fine Arts, ’s of Hertogenbosch.
Dominic van den Boogerd says about her work: “However mundane the observed events may be (a gathering at a festival, a crowd of tourists in a square), her keen use of framing, panning and editing lifts the scenes beyond the trivial anecdote. Maintaining a balance between empathy and detachment, Van der Put manages to show common gestures as seen for the very first time. Mesmerizing and slightly alienating, her recordings of a particular space during a limited time span reveal the uncomfortable side of social life.” Emma van der Put is currently a resident at WIELS, Brussels. Her work has been shown at tegenboschvanvreden, Amsterdam, Manifesta Art Office, Amsterdam, Galerie Mikael Andersen, Berlin. Recent screenings include OFFoff Cinema, Ghent, EYE- film museum, Amsterdam, S.M.A.K., Ghent and at Tuschinski, International Documentary Film festival Amsterdam.
Emma van der Put was awarded with a scholarship offered by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Italy.
