She transforms the absentminded scrolling culture of today into still images<br \/>\nin an extremely labour-intensive way.<br \/>\nThe series \u2018Instagirls\u2019 portrays women who post thousands of photos of themselves on<br \/>\nInstagram in the hope of a career as an influencer, even though they hardly have any<br \/>\nfollowers. The artist follows their feed and uses posted selfies and personal elements from<br \/>\ntheir Instagram account to build up large collage-like murals and drawings.<br \/>\nThe works are mostly made in series in which the main subject strives to fit in a mold and<br \/>\nhas to meet certain expectations. The person appears to be able to move free and happy but<br \/>\nmust meet strict requirements imposed by their personal or professional environment.<br \/>\nOver the years the works have opened up, through playing with lines and preserving empty<br \/>\nspaces. By placing different visual elements on top of each other, more movement is created<br \/>\nand the emphasis is placed on the different aspects of the subjects personality. The works<br \/>\nare constructed by combining various photos that are found on their profile with patterns and<br \/>\nelements from their home country\/city or that have a connection with their personal interests.<br \/>\nGraphic patterns are mixed with realistic images. All elements are drawn by hand and are<br \/>\nconstructed with multiple materials and with various techniques that complement each other<br \/>\nin the process.<\/p>\n<p>Petra van Noort (1981) works in Rotterdam, NL. She studied 3D\/Sculpture on The Royal<br \/>\nAcademy of Art in The Hague.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9359"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9359"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9359\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9360,"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9359\/revisions\/9360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
