(She/They) , born in Enschede, raised in the Middle East, based in The Hague



The body and electricity, both ubiquitous and intimate, are currently the main subjects of Juliette Hengst's artistic practice. Through these matters they explore the conventions of danger, when danger is or isn't tangible, and why people do exactly what is dangerous. Through a philosophy of foraging and collecting materials, she cuts up and rearranges the rules of safety codes, conceptions of rationality or reason, ancient or present storytelling, and scenes from her neighborhood in The Hague.
