What separates human beings from the rest of the living natural world is their incredible ability to understand the language of video.
So Frances is actually a biologist, but learned to work with video way earlier at public broadcaster BNN. Too curious not to explore the science of life she obtained a BSc in Biology at Utrecht University and a MSc degree in Environmental Sciences at VU Amsterdam.
Working as a DJ in Berlin and building dadaistic festival experiences in the hedo-underground Frances is ever fascinated by the human tendencies to exploit vs. nurture their environment for enjoyment.
This tension between hedonism and the natural environment is a limitless source in her artistic work. Her visual language shows a bigger picture. Framing sensitivity, complexity, non-linearity, and scaling her subjects against immensely vast landscapes.
Applying idealism to video is her way of coping with today, and to activate social change.
Frances' art projects have received generous support from:
