Bo Vloors

Bo Vloors (1993, she/her) is a visual artist, writer, photographer and filmmaker based in Brussels. Using image and text, her work revolves around human relations, within and with their surroundings, and the influential power of images. 

Inspired by nature’s cycles and symbiotic arrangements, she often focuses on rhythms, perception of time, movements and gestures. The Image stands central in her practice. Through the use of image and word she unites an external movement of registration (the image) with an internal movement of analysis (the word). Approaching her writings as The Missing Image, they serve as a complementary, affirmative or rhetorical purpose in relation to the actual image. At times they may even address the image’s limited representation of reality, emphasizing on the responsibility of the image maker and questioning the romanticized nature of images. Striving to balance aesthetics and content, her work gently unfolds (her own) human vulnerability and co-existence, with and within one’s surroundings, with a certain tenderness, intimacy and uncertainty. Although the formats she uses may vary from publications, spatial installations and audio-visual to audio-performative, The Image remains rooted in the core of her artistic practice, both as subject and material.
