Your name : Tanja Ritterbex (b. 1985)

Place of birth : Heerlen , The Netherlands

I am now living in Dusseldorf, Germany, where I study at the Artacademy in the class of the Danish artist TAL R.

Artist’s statement -

In Dutch: Citaat:“als je uiteindelijk begrijpt dat wat je ziet niet is wat je denkt, dan kun je er in zien wat je wilt.” In English: “When you finally understand that what you see is not what you think, you can see whatever you want to see .”

Favourite movies -

Vertigo (1958), a film BY Alfred Hitchcock. I love the way he uses the camera as the actor James Stewart is falling down. But on the other hand the movie: 50 First Dates (Peter Segal, 2004) with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore makes me cry every time. Ow my god! Also, Frida Kahlo (2002) a film by Julie Taymor with Salma Hayek.
