Marjolein Guldentops (BE) is a visual artist, author, and performer based in Berlin. By employing the concept of "worlding," she investigates the relationship between language, space, cultural context, and the urban rhythms, flows, and semantics that shape our perceptions of our environment. She blends graphic and typographic elements, spatial compositions, and song-like sequences, moving between different linguistic systems to convey multiple meanings through the ambiguity and conventionality of language. Her creative process involves repurposing and recontextualizing elements of corporate culture, such as desk settings, stationary objects, and administrative codes, in order to question traditional notions of their functionality and significance.
