Luca Tichelman (1995, NL) primarily focuses on video, alongside photography and small moving sculptures. She is deeply interested in the ingredients that create the story of a Self and the need to repeat that story in order to affirm one’s existence. By creating staged settings in which characters play a collection of different roles, she explores the innate human longing for a sense of belonging and the key role of identity in fulfilling this need. In a sense, Luca is rediscovering a childhood pastime – playing different roles in her room. Now turning this experience into an exploration of the fundamental human need to play.
