Information — Nina-Joy Thielemans

Bio

Nina-Joy Thielemans (1997) shapes her artistic practice through sculpture, scenography and sound to give tangible form or structure to impressions, thoughts and ways of being. Departing from questions around ecological awareness, pollution and our relation with everyday objects, she collaborates with carefully chosen environments and materials through which observation and interaction can create insights, lived experiences, and works. Her visual language focuses on (the illusion of) timeless, monumental or eternal forms, whereas her sound works function as improvised scores.
