Rosa Vrij

As a perfor mance maker and visual artist, Rosa creates universes around a central res earch theme. Within these universes, a series of artworks arise, building upon each other: from interactive book presentations to live drawings. Oft en, she reverses the roles of the audience and the artwork, inviting the a udience to act as co-creators in her exploration of the boundaries between the body and architecture. Her inspiration draws from video games and boa rd games, and the instructional methods these media employ. She also has a passion for graphic novels, modular furniture, and book design. Enlarge
