Erika Roux (FR) is a visual artist and filmmaker based in the Netherlands. She studied at the Gerrit Rietveld academy in Amsterdam and the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. She was artist-in-residence at the Jan van Eyck academie in 2021/22.
Roux’s practice
consists of a body of video works, short films, multichannel video
installations and publications. With a rather intuitive and intimate
approach to video and filmmaking, her work navigates between the critical
potential of fiction and the complications of documentary material. She
investigates the different stages of film production as a framework for
encounters and collaborations with others. Within her work, she looks at and
learns from existing communities, (temporary) social spaces and situations in
which people redefine the terms and conditions for production, collaboration,
or political struggle, challenging the current hegemonic forms of living and
power structures.
Besides her individual artistic practice, she currently co-runs WET, a video art collective based in Rotterdam.
