- Representation and imagination, reality and fiction are the cornerstones of Ana Torfs’ works, which in precisely choreographed constellations of sound and image retell and recall literary, historical, and political matter in new and striking ways. The artist hereby works with actors who are emphatically factual in the embodiment of their roles. Album/Tracks A+B is ultimately also the title of the comprehensive publication, which Ana Torfs conceived in collaboration with the curators. The book, congenially designed by Jurgen Persijn, comprehensively documents Torfs’ oeuvre between 1993 and 2010, with deliberately brief and subjective remarks about each individual work from multiple critical voices.
