Paul Hendrikse explores the intersections of history, biography, fiction and performance. Hendrikse produces alternative sets of knowledge around historical ‘facts’. His projects are mostly centered on historic persons who have left a mark in the public realm. Leaving aside the master narratives of history and their polished protagonists, the artist turns towards the micro stories of individuals and towards the uncertainties, myths, speculations and distorting representations surrounding them. The work is usually the result of a detailed research and takes the form of publications, installations, audiovisual work as well as performances.
