Lives in Amsterdam, works in The Hague

Bernice Nauta draws, makes films, paints, produces installations, objects and stories.

In her own words, the instability of (her own) identity stands central to her practice. In recent works, installations and exhibitions she has explored this idea through subjects such as stunt doubles, the myth of echo and narcissus and self appropriation.

Take her 2019 exhibition at the institution 1646. For HELLO ECHO, she made a literal double exhibition: each work was copied, as well as the facade of the building, creating a visual echo within the exhibition. Though appropriating her own work, Nauta questioned the possibility of true authorship.

Bernice Nauta graduated in 2022 from Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam, before that she finished her BA at KABK, the Hague in 2013. In June, she will participate in a curated booth at Liste Basel with CLC Gallery (Beijing). Recent exhibitions include The Plantriarchy with GC Heemskerk at Hotel Maria Kapel in Hoorn (2023) and Het Plantriarchaat, Marres Museum, Maastricht (2023)
