Wildbeaming

Hester Scheurwater is a Dutch Artist who works primarely in the field of video art. Her work focusses mainly on the three female archetypes: Virgin, Mother, Whore and the fine lines that seperate them.

Scheurwater studied monumental art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague. She participated in workshops with Frans Zwartjes and Nan Hoover. Scheurwater has made many video installations and experimental films that have been shown all over the world at festivals, museums (Brooklyn Museum New York) and galleries.

In various of her short films and videos, Scheurwater’s camera explores the relationships between human beings, and between humans and space, relationships that rarely flourish. The modern individual appears isolated from reality, unable to connect with herself or surroundings. Scheurwater’s films seek to express desires, fears and obsessions in an alarming manner. Scheurwater’s pictures show daydreams (fantasies/nightmares) which in a fragmented manner create a suggestive picture tale visible in which grotesque doll-like women show their incapacity to contact with the outside world. The woman shown as an object, isolated and sometimes absent thrown back to basic animal instincts “female behaviour”.
