Biography
Thomas Kuijpers is a visual artist, researching the way text and image are used to communicate ‘true reports’ about a certain happening. The use of archival materials is almost always the starting point of the work—he is a big collector. Everything starts with a collection. A collection in which he thinks he can find this red line, this fragment, this small metaphor that unravels the way the story is told. This collection, or a part of the collection, pretty much always becomes a part of the work itself (whether or not in processed or unprocessed form).
