About the Item

Amsterdam-based artist Jasper de Beijer’s conceptual series of photographs each deals with a specific historical period or event. He creates and photographs large-scale models made of drawn material and constructed bodies, environments, and ephemera, giving the resulting images a dreamlike quality. In carefully researching and creating these scenes, de Beijer aims to engage the ways we understand images of historical significance. The resulting photos are both powerfully complex and eerily familiar. His series Mr. Knight's World Band Receiver is inspired by the true story of Christopher Knight, who disappeared into the remote woods of Maine for twenty-seven years with only a radio as a connection with the outside world. De Beijer recreates prominent news events as though he was untouched by visual media, resulting in dreamlike images that begin to enter the realm of folklore. Jasper de Beijer attended the Amsterdam Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, and the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht. He has exhibited widely throughout Europe, and his solo exhibitions include The Hague Museum of Photography, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver, Museum Het Domein in Sittard, The Netherlands, the Museum de Hallen Haarlem, The Netherlands, Gallery Nouvelles Images, The Hague, Gallery TZR-Kai Bruckner, Dusseldorf, Hamish Morisson Gallery, Berlin, the Empire Project, Istanbul, and Studio d'Arte Cannaviello, Milano. His work has been reviewed by Vice Magazine, The New York Observer, Artnet News, and Time Out New York, among numerous others. He is part of a large number of collections, including The Bank of America Collection, Collection Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, The Hague, and the Rabo Art Collection, Utrecht.
