KAS VAN VLIET (1994 - PRESENT)
Camera artist, journalist, (social-)entrepeneur.
After being born in the identity-challenged city of Almere and blossoming in Eindhoven, Kas began his journey at the School of Journalism in Utrecht. While the post-truth society sprouted from our Astroturf frontyards, he learned what objectivity supposedly means – or at least what we think it meant — so he could later toss it overboard.
Although Kas once started out capturing reality during a brief career in photojournalism, he now devotes his time to orchestrating alternative realities — the kind that sometimes say more about our times than truth ever could. He turned his back on the so-called ‘real’ and found his calling in transforming images into dystopian screenshots from a video game no one wants to play, but everybody has to.
Next to his passion of photography Kas devotes his time to try and create a kinder world through entrepeneurship. In the past with his photography collective Wildschieters, momentarily with De Broeikas.
Artwise, Kas is currently exploring new ways and styles to express his desires and anxieties more explicitly through photography — and to share his work in the same public spaces where he finds his inspiration. Outdoors.
