Introduction:

Attending galleries in Art Rotterdam 2022 are classified into four sections. Viewers can visit hundreds of artworks in these sections, some of which are of special importance. Different sections and some of their artworks are introduced in the following: 

• Main Section with 66 galleries 

The most remarkable artwork in this section belongs to Kévin Bray, the young French photographer, who uses video, 3D photography, digital painting, animation, and sculpture in his works and expands their borders.  

• Solo/Duo Section with 27 galleries 

• New Art Section with 6 galleries 

The most important artwork in this section belongs to British-Japanese artist, Lilah Fowler. She investigates the consequences and effects of technology on humans' contemporary outlook and analyzes to what extent these technologies are handmade. She has presented her thoughts in the form of an installation and constantly works with experts in other fields such as biochemistry, quantum physics, computer programming, mathematics, and weaving.  

• Projections Section with 9 galleries 

One of the most important artworks in this section is done by  Thibault Brunet, who tries to establish a link between the real world and the virtual world using photographs. He questions documentary photography and looks for a new way of displaying the digital age and virtual world in the real world. So he creates three-dimensional objects in order to expand and represent the surrounding world.
