Nina van Hartskamp (1990) is relational mixed media artist. She graduated in 2020 at Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Her projects are research-based and combine text, textiles, organic materials, photography, film, audio and performance and focus on the relationship between humans and their environment. They often develop through interactions with people and places in her direct surrounding. For instance; her local neighbourhood, a Hungarian village, her mother, a museum, people’s bedrooms, a lover, a train station, ect.
Whilst investigating shared spaces and collective narratives from a personal perspective, she aims to create experiences in which, both participants and the audience, are invited to question normative perspectives and reflect on their relationship with others, humans and non-humans alike.
