SEEING THINGS
2010—2025
My visual relationship to the world has always depended on instruments of seeing;
I was born with defective vision and without the aid of lenses, everything is a blur. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve tried to understand how 20th and 21st Century instruments of seeing—cameras, satellites, screens, and now algorithms—shape what we see and how we understand it.
Seeing Things brings together works made since 2010 that explore photography’s evolution in an age of data, surveillance, and automation. Using satellite imagery, online archives, and artificial intelligence, these projects trace the infrastructures—political, social, and technological—that define contemporary vision yet often remain invisible. From the censored maps of Dutch Landscapes and the industrial abstractions of Fields and Feedlots, to the genetic lineages of The Fertile Image and the digestion of cameras in Scopes, the works reflect on how power, technology, and desire intersect in the act of looking.
Sight Seeing is organised into four conditions of sight:
Together, they map a terrain where seeing and believing are no longer the same. Here, every image, whether captured by a satellite, a screen, or an algorithm, is both a record and a mirror: evidence of the world we inhabit and of the systems through which we choose to see it.
