about

Marissa Splinter (1992)
Born in Alphen aan den Rijn, NL
Based in Amsterdam, NL

Marissa is een autonome kunstenaar en maakt vooral gebruik van het medium fotografie en film. Ze heeft haar BA in Autonome Fotografie aan de Willem de Kooning Academie behaald in 2014, waar ze afstudeerde met het project (film en publicatie) ‘Pubermeisjes’. Met dit project maakt zij de onzekerheid van pubermeisjes visueel zichtbaar. Marissa is gefascineerd door lichaamstaal en onderzoekt dit fenomeen in haar projecten. Ze bekijkt mensen en situaties op een heel warme manier en legt dit dan ook zo vast. Ze maakt tijdloze beelden van onderwerpen die voor iedereen herkenbaar en toegankelijk zijn. Maar ondertussen deelt zij ook haar eigen persoonlijke gedachtes met de kijker.

Marissa is a visual artist and mainly uses the medium of photography and film. She obtained her BA in Autonomous Photography at the Willem de Kooning Academy in 2014, where she graduated with the project (film and publication) ‘Girls in their puberty'. With this project she visualizes the uncertainty of adolescent girls. Marissa is fascinated by body language and investigates this phenomenon in her projects. She looks at people and situations in a very warm way and thus captures or records this. She makes timeless images of subjects that are recognizable and accessible to everyone. But in the meantime she also shares her own personal thoughts with the viewer.
