Risk Hazekamp, Experiment (Petri Dish), 2021
Risk Hazekamp proposes a new approach to photography, where the photographer is no longer in control of the actual image, but rather creates the circumstances in which photographic images can evolve. They ask how BioArt can facilitate a living alternative photographic methodology to envision our world without a camera, through a non-chemical production process and with a non-human gaze?
‘It is through the “not-knowing” that a stimulating and caring environment can be created to confidently share vulnerability.’
Risk Hazekamp is researcher within the Biobased Art and Design research group and tutor for the Art & Research study programme at St. Joost School of Art & Design.
The research group Biobased Art and Design capitalises on the role of artistic practice in unlocking the unique potentials of living organisms for everyday materials and communicating these to a broader public. In doing so, the group aims to instigate and accelerate our widespread understanding, further development and usage of such materials. The group’s research approach encourages tangible interactions with the living organisms, such as algae, fungi, plants and bacteria, to explore and understand their unique qualities and constraints through diverse technical and creative methods taking artists, designers and scientists as equal and active partners in the material creation.
