Petrah

Petrah is the name of the collaborate art duo consisting of the Dutch artists Petra van der Meijden and Hans Pronk who live in Burgundy, France since 2012. Their projects explore the digital world, and in particular how it influences the interaction between people, nature and society. What fascinates us is the fragility of nature which is at the same time incredibly resilient. Our work is a research into the relevance of the detail, the tiny elements that make up our world. The fragility of a hollyhock, giving up after the first winter night frost, a drop of resin mirroring the surrounding world, a fungus which clings to a dying tree. these kind of details come together in a series of introvert digital collages which reveal a complete new reality. Digital tooling plays a central role in the design and creating of our art-work."
