Bildhalle warmly invites you to Echoes, a solo exhibition by Dutch artist Margaret Lansink.
“I have come to embrace the earlier states of life. Every experience and every choice becomes part of our unfolding story. The present holds traces of all that came before. Through photography and mixed media, I seek to honour these traces as they continue to shape our lives. My work invites moments of stillness and reflection on transformation, fragility and the quiet passing of time”
Margaret Lansink
Bringing together recent bodies of work, Echoes explores the delicate relationship between
landscape, memory, and time. While rooted in photography, Lansink’s practice extends into
painting, collage, and sculpture, transforming her images of nature into layered reflections on perception, impermanence, and our connection to the natural world.
Each work begins with a photograph made by the artist. Printed on delicate Japanese washi
paper and mounted on canvas, the image is reworked with layers of acrylic paint. Folds, tensions, and irregularities remain visible, becoming part of the work itself. Through this process, the works become poetic echoes of memory and experience, speaking of places that continue to live within us and of the imprints that experiences leave behind.
This sensibility extends into Lansink's sculptural works, where material and process reflect her ongoing dialogue with the natural world. Created from a deep awareness of its vulnerability, these works invite viewers to slow down, look closely, and consider what we choose to preserve, carry with us, and pass on.
Margaret Lansink lives and works in the Netherlands. Her work has been exhibited internationally at numerous museums, galleries, and leading photography fairs, including Paris Photo, Photo London, Art Rotterdam, and Unseen. Her work is held in public and private collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She is the recipient of the Grand Prize of the Hariban Award (2019), was selected for The Best Dutch Book Designs (2019), and received the Fedrigoni Top Award (2025).
