Patricia Werneck Ribas

BIOGRAPHIE

Patricia Werneck Ribas is an Amsterdam-based artist who works with mainly moving and still images. Her work is often elusive, but it is never removed from a particular historical moment. It always belongs to and expands on the complexity of memory, time, and location. She takes what is familiar and makes it strange and compelling through creating unexpected juxtapositions and collaging ideas from often very distinct sources. She invites a gaze that is quietly unsettling, but her work always remains suggestive and elusive. Questions of ‘identity’ run throughout her work. Her focus is on inviting the viewer to imagine themselves in the place of the other. She disrupts familiar perceptions by investigating how personal narratives connect with wider political and social debates and concerns. She has an Audio Visual Arts degree from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and has participated in several exhibitions and screenings in The Netherlands and abroad including the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (NL); Museum DE Pont, Tilburg (NL); Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht (NL); Museum de Fundatie, Zwolle (NL); Museum Hilversum (NL); Sandberg Instituut, Amsterdam (NL); Reykjavik International Film Festival (IS); Manifesta, Amsterdam (NL); Tampere Film Festival (FI), dokumentArt (DE).
