Annemarie Deckers
In her photographic practice, Annemarie Deckers explores experiences of alienation, in-between states, and the fluidity of identity, often touching on the uncanny, abjection, and moments of disintegration or loss of self. Combining staged and found images, she constructs cyclical, non-linear narratives shaped by recurring motives, patterns, and fragments of lived experience. Her recent work unfolds primarily in the domestic space, approached as a microcosmos where intimate tensions meet broader human concerns, and as a psychological landscape that echoes an underlying state of mind. Her approach brings together conceptual thinking, theoretical research, and personal experience, drawing on philosophical and psychoanalytic texts to deepen the questions her images raise.
