Biography

Sara VanDerBeek's artistic lineage is deeply ingrained in an environment of artistic influences, such as her father Stan VanDerBeek, an experimental filmmaker with surrealist inclinations, and her brother Johannes VanDerBeek, a sculptor. This artistic background appears to have instilled a sense of curiosity, creativity, and idealism in her that is shown through her work. VanDerBeek's photographic works primarily feature abstract sculptures that incorporate a range of subjects, including art history books, personal photographs, magazines, and newspapers. Her creative process involves constructing sculptures in her studio, which she then photographs and often disassembles, leaving behind only the photographs as evidence of their existence. VanDerBeek is fascinated by the transformative power of photography. She believes it addresses fundamental aspects of our existence by altering our perceptions of time, place, memory, and scale. Recently, VanDerBeek has begun to display her sculptural forms alongside her photographic works in exhibitions, further building upon the complex relationship between the object, the image of the object, and the idea of the image as an object itself. ...
