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.
