Dineke Versluis

Bound | All kinds of obstacles attract me, both visually and physically. Walls, bars, fences, foliage. Feeling restricted makes me want to flee. I want to cross borders where I’m not allowed, to climb a fence, to ignore a stop sign, to trespass. I need to travel. To fly away and broaden my horizon. I have to question what’s holding me back. And don’t let others put a limit or a ceiling on my life.

Rotterdam-based photographer and visual artist Dineke Versluis is interested in the boundary between the public and the private self and turns a documentary lens on how people live, work and spend their leisure time. She is often drawn to situations and sites which are momentarily devoid of human activity, captured with an eye for symmetry and detail. dinekeversluis.nl
