Angelika Haak

Angelika Haak is a video artist from Cologne, Germany. Video portraits are an essential part of her artistic work. The series of works plays with the boundaries between painting, photography, sculpture and video art. The video portraits manifest themselves as moving paintings or video sculptures. Angelika Haak repeatedly explores the theme of the construction and deconstruction of identities. The focus is on people and their ideas, ways of thinking and ideals. The video portraits have a contemplative character. They achieve their fundamental intensity through symmetry, reduction and repetition. They allow the viewer to focus and concentrate on the essentials.
