Alexandra Crouwers (b. 1974, The Netherlands) is a visual artist and artistic researcher operating at the intersection of ecological collapse, digital mediation and speculative fiction. Her work engages with the emotional and existential dimensions of environmental crises through a range of media such as experimental short films, digital sculptures, installations, tapestries and sound. Her practice traverses the liminal space between virtual and real-world dimensions, acting as an interface that links current events to deep histories and imagined futures.
'Tools (v003)' fuses various objects from the artist's studio into a single, 3d scanned assembly. The work is part of an ongoing series that negotiates technologies across time. It is a way of emphasising and participating in the continuum of 'the history of things': reuniting ideas and objects – artefacts, tools and expressions – to form a "visible portrait of collective identity" (George Kubler, 'The Shape of Time', 1962).
