Presence of Liquid Passage, Passage of Solid Presence

Bo Vloors (she/her b. 1993, Belgium) is a visual artist, writer, photographer and filmmaker living and working between Brussels and Liège. Her artistic work hovers between the complex yet fascinating realms of image and language, exploring human relations in association with and within their surroundings, and the influential power of images. Drawing analogies between human experiences, natural cycles and symbiotic arrangements, she explores the ambiguity of the human condition, while simultaneously questioning the influence of images on our collective and personal intersection of reality and memory. For several years now, she has been practicing the artistic pollination between the audiovisual art, photography and writing by maintaining an archive with her own photographs, written texts, audiovisual and field recording. In 2022, she returned more explicitly to photography which eventually led her to a growing interest in the dynamic between image and text, as she started approaching her writings not only as an essayistic, but as material, printed matter, linguistic and lyrical vocal arrangements, all within the broader sense of “image-making”. The formats she uses may vary from publications, spatial installations, audio-visual to audio-performative. Her work has been exhibited in several cinemas, institutes, galeries, theaters and off spaces, both nationally and internationally. Since 2019, she is an active member of the Paris-based art collective SPASS and co-founder of the revue Voyons Voir.
