How To Leave Your Body Behind

Nico Krijno’s photography is at the intersection of performance, painting, montage and sculpture. His photographs are full of visual codes, puzzles, patterns and colors.

How To Leave Your Body Behind is at once playful, carefully structured and completely non-linear. Nico Krijno builds sculptures from discarded materials, continues to rearrange them over and over again, photographing them in the process.

These photographs are then reprocessed and altered again into new forms – using photoshop, paint and/or collage – creating new narratives and meanings. His explorations represent an experiment in the perceived truths of objects, the medium of photography and its history. Reminiscent of traditional still life, Nico’s photographs are loaded with humorous visual information, challenging the boundaries of the still image with its ever-changing staging.
