Alle Jong
Alle Jong observes the world around him and in doing so hopes to find ways to add sublime beauty but also meaning to his time spent creating connections towards the world around us. Jong does so by integrating pre-existing authentic ancient artefacts into installations but engages in making drawings and creating video games as well. Jong makes sure that in every artistic endeavour he has History, the Present and the Future lined up in the Now, which he defines as: ‘where You are and I watch You.’
