In her artistic practice, Zindzi Zwietering investigates the human perspective on the climate crisis. She transforms terrifying facts into soft, almost tender images. In a world subject to crisis, Zwietering tends to look for solace. For a way of dealing with a future approaching us rapidly. Zwietering faces reality with wonder as her greatest weapon. In addition to consolation, her work offers reflection. Because how do we, inhabitants of this earth, deal with increasingly severe periods of water shortages, heat and floods, and all the consequences that entail?
The work of artist Zindzi Zwietering (1992, Amsterdam) tends to start off from photography, but usually evolves in various other media such as silk screens, drawings and paintings.
