Marc Philip van Kempen (1979) is a Dutch artist living in Amsterdam and Berlin. Much of his practice consists out of life-sized threedimensional reconstructions of media images that result in a kind of ‘spatial collage’. His work brings elements of photography, sculpture and new media together in unconventional ways, challenging the viewers perspective.

He is the co-founder of Paleworks Studio which focuses on the variety of producing—in the areas of art, architecture, and design. His multidisciplinary approach creates a base for art direction, identity design, branding, photography, art installations, product, and fashion design. His education started with two bachelor degrees -in textile engineering and graphic design- and was followed up with the Master’s Degree Course in Media Art at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar—where he also worked as a lecturer. His practice gives a range of creative services—from digital, spatial, editorial design to branding & typography. He creates projects in cultural and commercial fields both based on aesthetics and functionality.
