Margit Lukács & Persijn Broersen

Dutch artist duo Persijn Broersen and Margit Lukács work across a wide range of media—most notably video, animation, and graphics—producing works that reflect on the ornamental qualities of contemporary society. Their practice is marked by an exploration of the sources of today’s visual culture. Through video pieces that incorporate filmed footage, digital animation, and images appropriated from the media, they demonstrate how reality, mass media, and fiction are deeply intertwined in contemporary society. Broersen and Lukács both studied at the Sandberg Institute and the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. Their projects, which include layered projections, digital animations, and spatial installations, have been shown at renowned institutions and events such as the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, MacKenzie Art Gallery (CA), Stedelijk Museum Breda (NL), Centraal Museum Utrecht (NL), HKW Berlin/ Louvre Paris for Rencontres Internationales, FOAM (NL), Centre Pompidou, Kröller Müller (NL), Biennale of Sydney, Rencontres Arles (FR), and Wuzhen Biennial (CN). They represent the Netherlands at the 2024 Gwangju Biennale, in South Korea.
