Saskia Olde Wolbers
Saskia Olde Wolbers (born 1971) is a Dutch video artist who lives and works in London. Background Since the mid-1990s, Saskia Olde Wolbers has been developing fictional documentaries often loosely based on factual events. Her intricate videos are driven by a combination of otherworldly imagery – meticulously handmade model sets – and the apparent inner monologue of the voiceover in the audio book-like soundtrack. The films are shot underwater, miniature sets dipped in paint to create unstable imagery that abstractly illustrates the narrator's thought process. In her most recent works, the music soundtrack has been composed by Daniel Pemberton. She has exhibited widely since 1998. Solo shows include: ''A Shot In The Dark'' at Vienna Secession, 2011; Goetz Collection, 2010; Mori Art Museum Tokyo, 2008; ''The Falling Eye'' at The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, 2006; and Tate Britain, London, 2003.
