Fiona Weir
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Fiona Weir (GB) was born in 1973 and grew up in The Netherlands, England and the South of France. She currently lives and works in Rotterdam. In 1999 she finished her studies in printmaking and painting at the Royal Art Academy of The Hague. She continued her studies at The Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam where photography and film became a means for her to explore the aesthetics of normality and reality. Her playground covers a sympathy towards the wonderment of a place. She's interested in capturing 'potential' places. She stumbles upon them, almost unaware of the place itself when she takes the picture. Only later, she inquires what is behind or beyond the original depiction or condition of the image and determines what will be seen. The locations photographed are reloaded, made ready for a new reality to occur.
