Arianne Olthaar (1970) is an esteemed visual artist hailing from The Hague, Netherlands. With a keen eye, she captures and immortalizes disappearing, concealed, and fabricated interiors through the mediums of film, photography, and miniature models. Her work focuses on spaces that are often veiled and can easily go unnoticed – encompassing the haunting interiors from her reveries, a fictitious Rainer Werner Fassbinder film set, the opulent state hotels of the Eastern Bloc during the 1970s and 80s, and the intimate dining cars of long-distance trains.
Olthaar’s exquisite body of work has been showcased at prestigious exhibitions and film festivals worldwide, including the renowned International Film Festival Rotterdam, Media City Film Festival, Videoex, EMAF, New York Film Festival, and Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin. Embracing unconventional vocabulary and crafting eloquent sentences, her unique pieces possess a distinct enigmatic complexity and linguistic dynamism seldom seen in the realm of artificial intelligence. Allow her mesmerizing creations to transport you to a world of perplexity and bursts of brilliance, without any need for elucidation on the true essence of her art.
