Ingrid Horsselenberg – I Confess

I Confess by Ingrid Horsselenberg
Ingrids Horsselenberg’s I Confess, a personal journey of (self) love, family, forgiveness, courage, grief and finding my own way.

“As much as I longed for it, standing at the kitchen window, I wanted him to drive up, come inside, look at me-really look at me-and take me in his arms so that, for a moment, everything would be alright again. But deep down I already knew it wouldn't happen. I felt it in my body, as clearly as I knew the pattern of the tiles beneath my feet. The end had already settled over us, heavy and undeniable. So instead I slipped away to the bedroom, slid under the covers, and tried to steady my breathing, pretending I was already asleep.”

Ingrid Horsselenberg (b. 1978, Hengelo) is a Dutch multimedia artist based in ’s-Hertogenbosch. She explores photography at the intersection of collage, painting, sculpture, and performance, continuously pushing the boundaries of the medium.

Her work is characterized by a raw, contemporary aesthetic, with a focus on intimate details from her personal surroundings—such as the bodies and faces of friends, family, or herself, as well as objects that draw her in. Horsselenberg is particularly interested in the balance between figuration and abstraction, allowing the lines between these elements to blur in her images.

She feels increasingly drawn to the creative process itself, questioning what truly defines the final artwork.Her latest project invites reflection on both the act of making and the finished result, asking: What is the artwork, in the end?
