Over de kunstenaar

Popel Coumou (1978, Velsen) is a photographer and a visual artist, using mixed media. She graduated from the Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam, in 2004. She produces alienating photographs of dreamy bedrooms, dusty corridors, deserted office blocks, covered with geometrical forms and taut lines. Human beings are usually absent. Coumou builds two-dimensional collages from paper, carton, fabric and clay, suggesting space by means of perspectives and lighting. She combines the visions of an interior architect and a still life photographer. In 2007, she won along with the American Jessica Roberts the First Prize at the Hyères Photo Festival, Hyères, France. In 2012, she was awarded the Mercure Culture Prize. Coumou exhibited many times, e.g. at Documenta 12, Kassel, Germany, in 2007; at ‘Hyères 2008’, Villa Noailles, Hyères, France; at Torch Gallery, Amsterdam, 2015 (a solo show). Her works are included in Foam Fotografiemuseum, Amsterdam; and in Museum Het Domein, Sittard, The Netherlands.
