Today a tour by Magdalena Pilko
Magdalena Pilko (1979, Austria) studied photography and philosophy in The Hague and Vienna. In 2008 she received the Steenbergen Stipendium, the most important Dutch award for young photographers, and also the Stroom Den Haag 'Aanmoedigingsprijs' (for the promotion of promising graduates of the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague) and an artist-in-residence grant for Studio Austria in Rome. Her work consists of visual essays (photographs plus drawings, video and texts) that try to capture ephemeral, fleeting moments in time and space. Magdalena Pilko shows her work regularly in the Netherlands and abroad; in 2010 a.o. 'Modulations of time' at Walden Affairs and 'Asian invasion' at NEST, both in The Hague; and 'Quickscan NL' at the Museum of Photography in Rotterdam.
