“Our brain has evolved in a way that it focusses on contrast. Black and white light-dark, large-small:the greater the distinction, the more polarized the image and the greater the impact (Donald Hoffmann).
In order to properly understand the world around us, we need differentiation.This is expressed not just in contrast, but in language too. Words differentiate things conceptually. “

The work of Johannes Bellinkx balances between performance, live cinema, visual art and sound art. He tries to design experiences that make a philosophical, political or cultural insight tangible. In order to address all senses Bellinkx works with artists from various disciplines. All his work is “analogue” since by addressing all this issues and themes the sense of ‘realness’ for the audience is key.

In 2013-2014 Bellinkx joined Oerols ‘new makers programme’ Atelier Oerol. In 2015 he received a research grant by the Amsterdam Arts fund commissioned by Over het IJ festival, Das theatre and Stichting NDSM and joined the European In-Situ network as an emerging artist. Currently Bellinkx is working on ‘Running Landscapes’, a parkours performance in collaboration with ROTOR. In July 2021 ‘Continuum’ will have it’s premiere.
