DERK STENVERS video director / theater maker / visual designer / photography
All the light you see is from the past
As a child I was already hypnotized by screens and image. My work spans multiple fields - I studied theatre directing at the Toneelacademie in Maastricht and also never let go of a camera. Now I try to find synergy between different media, such as performance and projected image. In addition to my own work, I collaborate with other artists (for example in de Transmissie ︎︎︎) and do commisioned work.

VIDEO INSTALLATION
A video project for Mathieu Wijdevens performance at Theater Rotterdam. In the performance he explores his Surinam roots and the history of his greatgrandfather, famous Surinam poet G. G. T. Rustwijk.
