say that I find satisfaction in my work again, because in a very small way i feel like I contribute. Your approach reveals an incessant search of organic investigation about the relationship between our being human and the pervading technosphere that marks out our mediadriven lives that affects our unstable contemporary age. The results convey together a coherent and consistent sense of harmony and unity: before starting to elaborate about your production, we would suggest to our readers to visit http://www.annemariekevanpeppen.nl in order to get a synoptic view of your multifaceted artistic production: while walking our readers through your process and set up, we would like to ask you how did you develope your style and how do you conceive your works.
I think my way of working is pretty intuitive, I don't want to be destracted by technique. I always look for a certain directness and rawness. I like to bring my models, even if I am the model myself, out of their comfort zone, it often gives a reaction or emotion wich helpes me forming the image and the development of my concept. Once I process the images, I like to work with my hands and experiment with materials and shapes. I think rawness and a particular way of repetition it is a common thread in my work. For this special edition of ARTiculAction we have selected MOVE ME, an extremely interesting installation, that consists of 40 portraits which are currently displayed in the Markiezenhof museum in Bergen op Zoom hat and that our readers have already started to get to know in the introductory pages of this article. When walking our readers through the enesis of this project, we would like to ask you what is the role of chance in your process: how much improvisation is important for you?
