If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?

Drawing, Installation, Photography, Video

I am...

Risk Hazekamp is an artist who works primarily with photography and video. In her work, the language of cinema is directly engaged.

In works that use the figure, disturbingly familiar clothing and landscape to deconstruct -or perhaps reconstruct- the idealised images of maleness and femaleness, Risk's earlier work often existed in a state of ambivalent "femanliness".

However, in most recent works since her decision to move to Berlin, there is a notable shift. Could it be that the city's long tradition with androgyny and gender skulduggery has seeped beneath her skin?

No longer are we presented with the crisp clean framing of discussions of gender in terms growing out of a traditional American or Dutch feminist gender and sexuality perspective prevalent in artistic practice by the late 1980's, itself an assimilation of earlier feminist theory on gender and sexuality. Instead, we are offered the heady scheissegal ambiguity and complexity associated with Berlin on a continuum.
