Biography
Documentation

Born 1969

Lives and works in Berlin/Germany

Mathilde ter Heijne is a Dutch video and installation artist and a professor of Visual Art, Performance, and Installation at Kunsthochschule Kassel. She works in a wide range of media such as installation, video, sculpture, and performance and incorporates elements from literature, film, and scientific research.

Through her work she explores the social, cultural, political, and economic backgrounds of gender-specific phenomena within different cultures and cultural history. Political, structural, and physical violence related to existing power structures in society are the starting points for a series of video works in which the artist represented different scenarios of violence and its victims exploring a variety of special effects including the use of life-sized dummies. Simultaneously, ter Heijne examined her own role as an artist and analyzed these particular structural conditions.
