Welkom bij mijn website.
Mijn naam is Iloisa Fortes. Ik ben geboren in Rotterdam en woon nu in Den Haag. Mijn atelier is bij Make It Art Worthy (MIAW) in Den Haag. Mijn vader komt uit Kaapverdië en mijn moeder uit Nederland. In mijn werk speel ik met verschillende identiteiten. Hieruit ontstaan Performance, video en foto werken welke absurd, cliché, minimalistisch, drastisch en grappig kunnen zijn. Vroeger waren vooral experimenteel muziek, kostuum en masker belangrijk. Tegenwoordig werk ik met barbie’s, fotografie, 3D en wordt weven belangrijk.
Performance video’s en foto’s Haagsekunstenaars.nl en Vimeo. Tevens heb ik live muziek bandjes gefotografeerd: IG: sterke_iloisa
My name is Iloisa Fortes. I’m born in Rotterdam and live and work now in The Hague. My work studio is at Make It Art Worthy (MIAW). My father comes from Cape Verde and my mother from Holland. I play with different identities and characters in performance, photo, video and 3D work which result in absurd, clichéd, obscure, minimalistic, drastic and humorous pieces. Experimental noise & music, text, costumes and masks where usually important tools in the past. In the present I work with barby, photography, 3D and started weaving.
Performance video’s en photo’s Haagsekunstenaars.nl and Vimeo. I also photographed live music bands. For pictures see IG: sterke_iloisa
