Iris Box is a multidisciplinary artist born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (1987). In her work Box explores the relationship between man and his natural environment. By rearranging and reconstructing her natural environment she combines differences and contradictions to create a unity together. She considers reality as an unlimited field of differences, which move disorderly next to each other and together form the unity of being. Her work is fine balance between order and disorder. The chaos as a counterpart to the patriarchal and capitalist hierarchical structure. She believes feminism in combination with environmentalism can change our world. In her work she celebrates life in an elegant way, as well as its transience.
From 2006 to 2010 she studied photography at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. After starting her own photo studio, she decided to do her master’s at the Sandberg Institute (Materialization in Art and Design) from 2015 to 2017.
Her work has been exhibited in art spaces such as Looiersgracht 60, EYE Amsterdam, De Vishal, Burgerweeshuis, Vishal, Projectspace Lauriergracht 160, Zoete-Broodjes. Temporary Art Center, Antiques Fair “S Hertogenbosch and & Foam.
