Biography

Rem van den Bosch 23 August 1974, Rotterdam

My works are about human behavior, consumerism and thoughts on what society considers socially accepted. In my works and from my point of view I reflect on and mimic behavior from everyday live, common to all of us.

With make-up, decors, light and specific atrributes I create the atmosphere and surrounding.  In an intense, ruled by me, correlation with the model originate situations in which I can make the shots which I aim as my artistic target. The photographes are the fundamental idea for further operating. Involvement and engagement with people are the starting points to round off this process succesfully. However I don't dread to look for the limits of what is called nowadays 'social accepted'. My pictures are called sensual, they have often an erotic load but pose, styling, illumination, atrributes and specific technics disorder this image. Through this originates the wanted stratifiedness and the question of the observer. What is going on?

Frequently I work in a combination of model and organic death material, derived from the surrounding of the place where I live on the border of sea and land. The fact of the unlimited presense of this material creates the possibility to use unique style elements in the transformation. In another place this process will lead to new challenges.
