Sarah VanDerBeek is an American artist who lives and works in New York. Coming from an artistic family, Sarah is the daughter of the late artist and experimental filmmaker Stan VanDerBeek, and sister of sculptor Johannes VanDerBeek. Sarah VanDerbeek works in photography in two interesting ways. First, I am very interested in her photographs of architectural ruins from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. This photographs displace time, and cause questions on the progression and repetition of history. Ultimately, these photographs seem to model solar systems or paintings, further displacing them from the architectural realm. Next, Sarah VanDerBeek makes sculptures that will eventually constitute the finished product of the photograph. Oftentimes these photographs are mysterious, stately, and quiet. I enjoy the translation of the artist's interest in architecture in these forms.
