Red de Rooij

One they’s trash is another they’s treasure. Working within rituals of tactility, I repurpose and preserve photographs, patterns, fibres and discarded materials to examine the ebbs and flows of value. My work navigates realms of community and identity, as well as the cyclical rhythms of our surroundings and histories. Through this exploration, I reimagine our experience of self and environment, in synchronicity with an investigation into contemporary material and digital cultures.One they’s trash is another they’s treasure.
