Saskia Olde Wolbers, 10 min loop, single channel video projection, SD PAL DV 4:3 stereo, voiceover by John Wynne, Trailer (installation Wiener Secession Austria), 2005

Saskia Olde Wolbers


Since the mid-1990s Saskia Olde Wolbers has been working with video and has shown extensively in UK and international museums, galleries and public spaces.

Olde Wolbers’s short narrative videos combine carefully crafted fictional scripts with visuals that reveal other-worldly environments. Off-screen narrators address the fluidity of fact through biographies relating to notions of translation, neurosis and verisimilitude with an eye for wit and the absurd.

Saskia Olde Wolbers lives and works in London (UK).
