More about IZARIN and VAN DER LINDE

IZARIN and VAN DER LINDE is the creative collaboration of the two time based media artists Aldwin Izarin and Hans van der Linde.

Aldwin and Hans met at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam where they studied photography and shared a mutual fascination with ordinary people, which has become their favorite subject matter to work with.

Upon graduation from the Academy in 1995, they decided to combine creative forces. Since then, Aldwin and Hans have been commissioned to do several high-profile projects which confirmed the success of the collaboration.

In their video installations, time itself becomes a material. By subtly stretching, condensing, or unfolding moments, everyday scenes reveal details and rhythms that often remain unnoticed.

'IZARIN and VAN DER LINDE' has initialized several artistic endeavors; series of portraits, stylized photographs, films and video installations designed to depict the diversity and cultural differences of people. Their style is straightforward, sincere, uncompromising yet subdued allowing them to capture a non concealing reality.
