Daan Kamphorst is an inspiring creator who uses what he experiences and feels partly as a starting point for his works. As a director and photographer, Daan intuitively works out his many, idiosyncratic ideas with his visual handwriting, resulting in works of a professional level. He sees the media of film, photography and music as rich tools to bring his fantasies and memories to life. As a maker, Daan focuses on subjective storytelling with dividing lines between (semi) autobiography and fiction. He creates a new world with his own rules. The world we know, filled with fictional elements in which he wants to break the daily pattern of expectations of the spectator, with the hope to see, hear and feel differently. With themes such as mourning, friendship, absurdity etc, Daan's work always manages to evoke recognition in the viewer. With his documentary works, photography and stylized short films, the viewer feels connected to the work of Daan Kamphorst.
