In the last decade of the twentieth century the Dutch-based artist Jacqueline Kooter was painting and drawing large imaginary landscapes on paper and canvas.
Since the year 1999 (human) figures appeared in her work and she started making site-specific installations. Ten years later she added moving images to her work.She creates an imaginary world both in 2D and in 3D. Nowadays she specializes in making site-specific installations with paper and in making autonomous short films with mixed techniques (stop motion, animation, real time footage). Since 2023 she also makes 2D works on paper, related to her installations and films.
The world she creates in her visual art is familiar but above all alienating.Jacqueline Kooter exhibited her work in Europe, the USA and Hong Kong.
Her films have been screened at multiple international (dance- and short-) film festivals in Europe (Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Sweden, Romania, Hungary, Serbia, Turkey), USA, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan and Japan.
