Lives and works in Amsterdam, NL
Trees Heil (1993, The Netherlands) makes photos, performances and short videos. The works show temporarily constructed situations in which spaces, people and their behaviors are given a new, poetic context. By using materials such as plaster, hessian, hair and paint, the people who are photographed are transformed into different shapes. Heil examines the fluidity of man and themes such as identity and intimacy are explored. The intuitive and personal working process is expressed in a magical-realistic, playful visual language.
