Barbara Visser is an artist based in Amsterdam. She studied Photography and Audiovisual Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy between 1985 and 1991, with an exchange year at the Cooper Union in New York City, and was educated at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht from 1998-1999. In the majority of her projects, executed in photography, film, print, text or performance, Barbara Visser has been occupied with the uncertain relationship between registration and dramatization, plays with notions of original and copy, and questions the way history and memory are being shaped by both the individual and society.
