Luuk Van Raamsdonk
Luuk VAN RAAMSDONK (2001) is a lens-based artist and researcher based in Breda, Netherlands. His work explores themes of history, identity, trauma and the human-nature relationship, using photography, moving images and installation to question established narratives and reveal hidden histories. With a deep curiosity for the unknown, he investigates cycles of absence, memory and reconstruction, often drawing from archival material. His practice is research-driven, relying on repetition, experimentation, deconstruction and a blend of historical and contemporary visual strategies. By merging the archival qualities of photography and film with a conceptual approach, he constructs multidisciplinary installations characterised by stark (black-and-white) imagery and layered storytelling.
