Photo on a billboard during the Photo weekend Duesseldorf 2018 / One minute ago

This photo comes out of a series of photo’s, called ‘Blinds & shades’. A window marks the bounderies between privat and public. With this series I research this boundery. 

I zoom-in on different kind of shades, looking for a grafic coherence and showing personality of the person living there, or the lack of it. At the same time the window acts as a mirror, reflecting the oposite building showing us only what we see already.

Installation  of photo's in lightboxes / Vijverhofstraat 25, Rotterdam / 2017 - ongoing

Cities are being built, old buildings are being renewed. This building will also be demolished in the near future. The work ‘There is a crack in everything that’s how the light gets in’, focusses on the quality of imperfections. It shows the beauty and uniqueness of broken window’s. because not everything has to be perfect. It is the imperfections that make live exciting and a city lively. 

In memoriam is an installation I've done in an abandoned ‘Nudlefabrik’ in Zeitz, Germany, during IPIHAN#7, 2017. (www.ipihan.com)

material: Brokenglass panels and light.

This installation is made in an abandoned ‘Nudlefabrik’ in Zeitz, Germany, during IPIHAN#7, 2017. (www.ipihan.com). The photo's were taken at the same building, where the installation is shown.

Cities are being built, old buildings are being renewed. Everything has to be perfect and thing’s that are broken are of no more value. The work ‘There is a crack in everything that’s how the light gets in’, focusses on the quality of imperfections. It shows the beauty and uniqueness of broken window’s, because not everything has to be perfect. It is the imperfections that make live exciting and a city lively. 

In Dresden ‘Places and Traces’ developed a typography out of existing details within the city; Creating signs out of ornaments, bricks and floortiles. These details are put back into the city, constructing alanguage out of forms, with the goal to outline the city.

Material: plug, socket, wood, plexiglas, sound, light and meganical devices / 32x32x32cm

In this installation “connect-us’, an electricity socket en plug play the lead role. The onlooker is invited to connect the two. When so, the red light comes on and the sound of a conversation between a man and woman starts, leading to a climax.  

"It is a surprising and humoristic work and focuses on an everyday object"

Photo's on dibond 160x130cm.

These photo's were taken and exposed in an office environment.

This project i did during a period of Artist-in-residence at the Ampelhaus in Germany. I researched the existence of different sorts of hooks, like hooks you can find in the kitchen, bathroom or coat-hanger. I collected hooks and treated them as archeological findings, by treating them as artifact. The choice to research hooks was based on the wide range of hooks existing in Oranienbaum and the fact that it is an unimportant object, easily overlooked.

I took photo’s of hooks at peoples homes. The photo’s are taken from an other perspective than we would normally perceive a hook. Which causes an estrangement from reality. The hook becomes an object worth looking at and plays the lead-role in a desolate landscape. The choice to make photo’s at peoples private homes, was a logical and important step in the research. It made the inhabitant more involved in the project and feel more related to the art place ‘Ampelhaus’. Also the inhabitant was directly confronted with an other view on a simple object.

Trace: Galeries en musea 

Place: Rotterdam

Event: Museumnacht 2014

Met het project Trace Cards (2014), laat Judy van Luyk een spoor achter bij  verschillende galeries en musea. Trace Cards zijn ansichtkaarten met daarop een detail van de ruimte. Elke locatie heeft zijn eigen kaart en elke kaart heeft een relatie met zijn omgeving. De afbeelding is een detail, iets waar we normaal overheen zouden kijken. Nu wordt de aandacht erop gevestigd en gaat het een eigen leven leiden. De bezoeker kon gratis een ansichtkaart meenemen als aandenken aan de galerie of museum.

Tracecard locations: roodkapje.org, www.goethe.de, www.tentrotterdam.nl, www.wdw.nl, www.joeyramone.nl, www.franktaal.nl, ,www.ababa.nl, www.ram-art.nl, www.chabotmuseum.nl, www.nederlandsfotomuseum.nl

The project 'Landscapes' is a series of table-top photo's. The models were built from paper, sand and other materials. The photograph of the model is the actual work. As a result, the photographed landscapes invite the viewer to look through the camera lens at an imaginary world referencing familiar realities.

Place: Zomerhofkwartier, Rotterdam

Event: Route du Nord 2013

Het project ‘Wallscapes’ (2014) is plek-gerelateerd en speciaal voor Route du Nord ontwikkeld. Ogenschijnlijk oninteressante details zijn gefotografeerd. De foto’s hangen in de buurt van het gefotografeerde onderwerp, waardoor de foto’s te zien zijn op verschillende plekken van de kunstroute. Er ontstaat een link tussen het origineel en de afgebeelde werkelijkheid. De kopie en het origineel vormen een combinatie die elkaar ondersteunen en versterken. De kopie is een vervreemding van de realiteit en vertelt zijn eigen verhaal over de muur en zijn details. Je wordt als toeschouwer uitgenodigd mee te kijken door de lens van de camera naar een andere realiteit.

The project consisted of sticker sheets. Each sticker is a photo of a detail from the walls of the exhibition space.The visitor was invited to take a sheet and stick the photo-stickers on the walls of the exhibition space, creating an active intervention and establishing a reflection about the given space. 

‘Fragmentarium’ is een project dat ik gemaakt heb voor De Aanschouw. In de kast laat ik fragmenten zien van de directe omgeving van De Aanschouw.

Event: Route du Nord 2013

'What you see is what you get' is an site specific installation, made for the 'Route du Nord 2013'  Art Event in Rotterdam. De given space was photographed and printed black and white in poster sizes. The room was redecorated with its copy of itself. The posters each on its own were for sale. Each time a poster was sold a 'hole' in the installation was created and the room itself became slowly visible and part of the installation. The goal of the project was to create an awareness of the space and its details. At the same time it raises the question if what you see is really what you get.

Project 'Hoeken en Gaten / Les Coins et Recoins' sets out to investigate details of given spaces. For each event or location there were photo's taken of details of the space. These details were shown in the same space again; confronting the visitor with the space itself and turned its defaults into details worth looking at.
