Laura Snijders
“I question current norms and values and observe behaviour, ways of dressing, systems, and logic. The communication but also the miscommunication that results from this fascinates me. In my work I use these elements of communication to confuse. I play with them to give shape to a new reality. For example, why do some people dress exclusively in red? Are they aware that they are stealing the show? Is this their normal? I don’t want real answers. I want to ask these questions and dream my own logic onto them.”
