Exhibition : « Reala Worlds » by Scarlett Hooft Graafland
Scarlett Hooft Graafland’s work develops over the course of her long and many travels. Iceland, China, Bolivia, Canada and Denmark open their vast expanses to the artist, serving as the scene for her inventions. The landscapes she chooses to work in share common traits: distant horizons and arid beauty. Lunar spaces where human presence is rare, and therefore always unusual. Trained in sculpture, the Dutch artist fashions art that draws from installation and performance, a body of work conditioned by her voyages: migration of the author and the object (here, carpets and hats) in foreign lands. Her images are never digitally doctored: everything lies in gestures and construction. Scarlett Hooft Graafland’s work is one of free, whimsical and spontaneous poetry which describes a world feverishly teetering on the... - Exposition
Quand la danse rencontre la photographie
Le mouvement et son abscence. La danse et la photographie. Deux formes d'art de prime abord incompatibles. Et pourtant, elles sont réunies à Huis Marseille pour l'exposition : Dancing Light, Let it move.
Cette exposition révèle le pouvoir ultime de la photographie, celui d'immortaliser pour toujours un moment. Là où la danse se termine une fois la chorégraphie terminée, le cliché, lui reste à jamais. Il sacralise l'instant pour le graver dans notre mémoire. Il transforme même notre interprétation de l'expérience. Dancing Light fait honneur à ce principe. Les photographies de Naoya Ikegami du danseur de Buto Kazuo Ohno semblent le parfait exemple de ce mélange parfait entre danse et photog... - Exposition
Scarlett Hooft Graafland you winter, let's get divorced
In this new series, Hooft Graafland successfully combines straight photographic practise with performance and sculpture. The resulting work is delightful - visually engaging yet constantly referring to a more profound cultural discourse. Using a surrealist language of intriguing visual jokes, Hooft Graafland wittily alludes to her anthropological interests and environmental concerns. For You Winter, let’s get divorced, she spent four months living in Igloolik in the northern reaches of Canada. The beauty of the harsh natural landscape with its infinite snow and ice forms Scarlett’s canvas and playground - a pair of rubber gloves are joined in prayer before an iceberg- is their wearer imprisoned under the snow or perhaps attempting an appeal to save the huge yet vulnerable iceberg from its imminent demise.

Scarlett Hooft Graafland
"... the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on a dissecting table (can provoke) the most powerful poetic detonations"
Le Comte de Lautréamont, Les Chants de Maldoror, 1868.
We are delighted to announce the first UK solo exhibition of work by Dutch artist Scarlett Hooft Graafland.
Inhabiting the border between straight photography, performance and sculpture, Hooft Graafland's photographs are records of her highly choreographed live performances in the salt deserts of Bolivia. Fascinated by the surreal beauty of the harsh natural landscape she utilises this as her canvas. Anthropologically curious, her ideas emerge directly from the local mythology that originates in this otherworldly environment.
Using naïve and childlike colour palettes her photographs draw on the language of the surreal sh...
