Symptoms of COVID19: When your country seems to turn into a policestate

Concept

Nanda Raemansky is a multidisciplinary painter and digital artist who lives and works in the Dutch bordervillage Eede in the Netherlands. She began her artistic practice in 2003 with declaring the statement: From today on, I am an artist! She developed her artistic skills on her own terms and led a self-tought practice. Untill in 2010 she decided to go study at the Academy of fine arts in Ghent, Belgium.

As an artist, she is fascinated by the concept of freedom, how it works, evolves, is experienced and dealt with. She seeks answers to these questions in social commentary, urban spaces, graffiti and street art movements.

"I am interrested in the concept of freedom and like to search for signs of freedom - or the lack of it - preferrably in our surroundings."

Raemansky mostly likes to work in series. She will come on to a subject of choice by watching the news and documentaries, reading books, searching the internet and looking into history, but sometimes she just happens to stumble upon an interesting scenery, while walking through the streets.
Once she has found her subject of choice she will try to travel there, to have closer look. There she will gather footage by making a photoshoot, videorecordings, soundrecordings, notes, found objects (litter) and sketches. She will later manipulate this in both digital and analog format, layer on layer, combining them and transforming them from one medium to another and mixing them to allow the image to change and reform freely during every transformation.
