Working primarily in photography and film, the practice of Rixt de Boer (born 1992, the Netherlands) is based on processes of collecting, re-framing, and juxtaposing. Through her work she investigates the linguistics of place by emphasizing elements in our everyday surroundings that symbolize the ways that we relate to the landscape. She creates documents of transient places and objects that contain a field of tension between man-made environments and natural processes.
