review by Paul Moakley, editor of TIME magazine New York:
‘analogue interactivity and the photography of Anouk Kruithof’
…little bit of lovely words from Rob Philip on the FOAM-blog

If I have to think about someone within the field of photography who adapts this principle beautifully, it’s Anouk Kruithof. Every time she amazes me with her constant flow of projects and ideas. She adapts to her environment, whether it is Berlin or New York and uses the people around her for inspiration and context. Her projects are light and playful, but also profound and serious at the same time. I think that are very important qualities if you want to survive nowadays in the ever changing world of art and photography. So my ultimate advice to my students would be: be like water. Or like Anouk.
review about my solo exhibition
Untitled (I’ve taken too many photos/I’ve never taken a photo) in Hyeres, France
read whole review with pictures HERE
While there were plenty of exhibitions to be seen at the recent Festival Hyères (check out all of them on Fashion Snoops), I had two favorites. First comes from Dutch artist Anouk Kruithof. Artist as in WHAT you may ask? Well that’s a little complicated, and it’s also what defines her. The “medium” is always the starting point for Anouk’s projects which also rely on an interaction with the surroundings or people involved. While the photos fail in comparison to the experience, look first and then I’ll explain. Anouk’s exhibition, titled Untitled I’ve taken too many photos/ I’ve never taken a photo was set in the historic Tour des Templiers in Hyères old city center. The location was also utilized for an impressive photography exhibit when I attended the festival in 2010. This time around, upon entering, all guests were given a square mirror plate, which was used to view the many photographs suspended from above without looking up. The photos themselves, in an assortment of sizes, featured a variety of subjects captured over 10 years from portraits to landscapes to objects. There was no particular order to view the exhibit and each “viewing” of the photos varied depending on positioning of your own mirror. Holding the mirror from your chest and then drawing it up to your face gave a feeling of movement, almost like inverting the ceiling and floor and causing momentarily confusion.. an amazing experience that was truly original!

ICP’s Infinity Awards were inaugurated in 1985 to bring public attention to outstanding achievements in photography by honoring individuals with distinguished careers in the field and by identifying future luminaries.
