TANJA ENGELBERTS
Tanja Engelberts (1987, Deventer) investigates how to document landscapes that are no longer visible. These places range from artificial islands to the endless North Sea, and are often related to the fossil fuel industry.
For example, she immersed herself in the industrial landscape of the North Sea by sailing with maintenance ships and speaking with offshore employees. The landscape takes shape by means of films, prints, sound and texts in which the atmosphere and experience of these places is recorded.
Bio
Tanja Engelberts lives and works in The Hague, The Netherlands. In 2021, Tanja Engelberts completed her two-year residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam. For the past four years she has worked on several projects related to fossil fuel industry and in particular the changing landscape of the North Sea, disappearing oil and gas platforms. Through these projects, she also explores our changing attitudes towards this industry. In her artistic practice she studies what happens to the processes that set people in motion, which have consequences that manifest themselves long after they have disappeared.
Other residencies and fellowships include: The Banff Center for Arts and Creativity (CA), De Nederlansche Bank (NL), The Ucross Foundation (USA), Clifford Chance (UK), IK Foundation (NL) and Örö Residence (FI).
