Bipolaris

Maaike Anne Stevens received a grant to realize her new film project called Bipolaris: a cinematic essay about the fundamental difference in the way our two hemispheres of the brain experience the world. The film is a poetic portrait of the deep-seated paradox that seems to reside within us, placing a question mark at the heart of modern Enlightenment thinking.

Maaike Anne Stevens is a visual artist based in Amsterdam and London. She works with text, image, installation and film. Her work has been shown at exhibitions and screenings worldwide, including at the Jerwood Space London (UK), the Austrian Filmmuseum (Vienna), Visions du Réel, Nyon (CH), IFFR Rotterdam (NL), The Art Gallery of Alberta (CA), and the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Santiago (CL). Her work is part of the Victoria & Albert Museum permanent collection. Maaike is a graduate of Central St.Martins College of Art and Design (BA Fine Arts, 2008) and Goldsmiths College (MFA Fine Arts, 2012).
