Work

[edit]

Through the use of different media Hietbrink questions and explores different aspects of the psychological and inherent conflicts between the rational and instinctive self. He juxtaposes the everyday with the surreal, and the cultivated with the instinctive, in order to address and blur the divisions between these traditionally binary fields in spatial installations and live performances that can be endearing and humorous, while at the same time painful and sad.
