Luuk van Raamsdonk (2001) is a multidisciplinary artist located in Turnhout, Belgium.
He is currently in his graduation year studying Photography, Film & The Digital at St Joost School of Arts in Breda. (BA)
He is also part of COHEISA an audio-visual collective located in Breda. With which he focuses on experimenting and creating alternate perspectives regarding installation art, night life and music.
In his personal work he strives to reveal and understand the mystery of the world that surrounds him. Using lens based media to support his need to investigate, question and deconstruct. He does this by combining the often historic and archival qualities of photography with a more contemporary approach.
Theme’s of (family) history, identity,trauma and the human-nature relationship are reoccurring within his practice. Having closely experienced and struggled with these subjects personally, he feels like he can accurately visualize these often complicated structures. Translating them into deeply personal long term projects, characterised by atmospheric black and white imagery.
He has an avid fascination with photo books and everything related to archival materials. As this is where his love for photography originated. Nonetheless, his work often finds itself realised in spacial installations where photography, text and moving images merge into one. This multi disciplinary approach is required to provide a deeper understanding of the stories that he aims to tell.
