Anke Hurkmans (2000*) is a visual photographer, born in Belgium. A dreamer who does not accept the borders of reality. Reaching out to classical art, her work contains the atmosphere of melancholy, concealment and anonymity. Masks and hidden faces offer a sanctuary. The effaced individual offers the liberty to disconnect from social norms. In her visual work Anke experiments with several types of media. After relaxing the shutter, she does not cease perfecting the image . She develops her creation on different mediums, including textiles and applies additional processing or layers to the print. Painting or sewing over the image provides an experimental character to the work and brings a much desired tangibility.
