Lidwien van de Ven

photographer and filmmaker, Berlin and Rotterdam

Lidwien van de Ven (born 1963) works with photography and video. While her images that attend to primarily political and religious subjects have a photojournalistic quality, they question the unseen in events covered by the media. Recent exhibitions include: Busan Biennale 2012, Busan, 2012; Freedom, Netwerk, Aalst/Belgium, 2011–2012; and Documenta 12, Kassel, 2007. Van de Ven lives and works in Berlin and Rotterdam.
