Frederique van Rijn

(France, 1982) is a photographer and visual artist. Her photo documentary series focus on places with history. She works together with artists and writers such as Remco Campert and Elly de Waard. She is also a founder of the catering collective Ogentroost (which works with edible flowers) and a creative instructor at the Free School. For her book Het lichte oog huilt kleuren (The Light Eye Weeps in Colour, 2017), she photographed fragments of drawings, paintings, etchings, paint spatters and notable details in the Bergen atelier of the painter and poet Lucebert. She digitally combined these with her photos of the nearby landscape, and asked Remco Campert to choose fragments of Lucebert's poetry as titles for the collages. Currently she is working on a photo series in Neerijnen and editing photos from her grandmother's family archive.
