[1][2][3] Marijke van Warmerdam has been developing a characteristic body of work including film, photography, paintings and sculptures since the 1990’s.

Shortly thereafter, her work Douche (Shower, 1995) was displayed for an extended period of time on one of the platforms of Schiphol Airport railway station, where thousands of travellers could see the film while waiting for their train.

Van Warmerdam relies not on story-telling but on the visual power of the motif: a hat dancing in the wind, a drop of milk slowly dissolving in a glass of water, a girl doing a handstand or a red suitcase sliding down a snowy mountain.

In addition, van Warmerdam has participated in numerous international exhibitions, including the Sydney, Berlin and Gwangju Biennales, and Documenta X.

She has had solo exhibitions at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, the ICA in Boston, MAC in Marseille and The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
