About me
CINDY JANSEN (Veghel, NL, 1976) Lives and works in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Jansen graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts in Arnhem (NL), Milan (I) and the International Script Development and Directors Program of the Binger Filmlab in Amsterdam (NL). Jansen showed her films at several national and international film festivals, among which Hamburg, Rotterdam and Edinburgh. Her videos and photo works were presented in multiple group- and solo-exhibitions, like Loop '05 Barcelona (ES), Noorderlicht Photo Festival Groningen (NL), and Gerhard Hofland Gallery, Amsterdam.
Jansen's films and videos vary from non-linear narrations to more fragmented artworks that find their platform in both the art scene and film festivals. She is known for her cinematic framing, contemplative style and slow-burn reveal editing.

remarks
The diversity of today's society is between the extremes of encouraged and unacceptable behavior. The standards of the ‘middle’ determine to what extent behavior is socially accepted or considered deviant. Visual communication plays an important role in this. Changing manners as a result of digital and social media, such as far-reaching individualism versus mass behaviour, competition and fame versus social isolation and the sexualization of consumerism, demand a critical attitude towards these social shifts.
In my work a language is used that creates a dialogue with the individual signifier. The viewer is transported into another reality through suggestion or a compelling (re)presentation of the subject. The viewer's reaction to what is shown places the work in a broader, existential framework; that of contemporary morality and ethics.
