Description from the seller
In the photo series Mr. Knight’s World Band Receiver, Jasper de Beijer investigates how historical events change when they are formed not through images, but through memory and imagination. The series is inspired by Christopher Knight, an American hermit who lived in seclusion in the forests of Maine for twenty-seven years and followed the outside world only via radio.
For this series, De Beijer based himself on his own memories of news events, such as Chernobyl and Hurricane Katrina. As is common in his work, he first created scale models from drawn and cut materials, which he then photographed. Thus images arise that appear recognizable, yet are at once disorienting and almost fairy-tale-like. His work shows how history, media, and personal imagination influence each other.
Jasper de Beijer has exhibited his work in numerous solo and group exhibitions both in the Netherlands and abroad. His work has been shown at, among others, the Nederlands Fotomuseum, the Tropenmuseum, Museum Het Domein and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. Additionally he has been represented by renowned galleries in Amsterdam, New York, Düsseldorf and Milan. His work is included in various public and private collections, including Bank of America and Rabobank. In 2021 Museum Rijswijk presented a retrospective of twenty years of artistry.
