In conversation with artist Patrick Koster about his series Lightbox 2014-2017.
Inspired by the time and world we live in, Patrick Koster intervenes artistically by placing ‘the evil’ in an alienating context. His work ensures that your mind does not immediately see through the struggle and violence in the image, but that you use your imagination to fathom it. “In my work I study the violence and ideas of attackers.

Thinking too can easily turn from good to evil. “ Check this Lightbox 2017-2017 series.
