Marjolein Blom

Photographer

Marjolein Blom (b.1984, Dordrecht) is a visual artist who lives and works in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. She studied photography (BA) at the Fotoacademie, Amsterdam and graduated with a project about time travelling, titled Double Slit Experiment. Her work results from a fascination for scientific theories about the inner workings of our universe (like those of quantum physics and special relativity) and the human desire to unravel the deeper layers of existence through science. Chance, curiosity and humour are important characteristics in her artistic process, which leads her to explore the tension between scientific facts, the appearance of things and the reality of our everyday lives. Over the past years, her work has been exhibited in different international shows on fairs and festivals, including Art Rotterdam, Unseen, Fotomuseum Den Haag (NL), Fotografia Europea (IT), Images Gibellina (IT), Backlight2020 (FI) and Encontros da Imagem (PT) and is included in private and public collections.
