Jason Desmond Stuurhaan is from Leeuwarden and studied Autonomous Visual Arts at Minerva Academy. He is fascinated by staged photography and other new media. To enhance the malleability of an identity, everything is used to emphasise it: clothing, make- up, props, post-processing with Photoshop and filters. Everything matters in his work. So he sometimes calls it Jason's makeable world. In this world, attention and seduction are played with.
The photo or films can be a scene from a film, a film still, or photo from fashion photography. Stuurhaan is fascinated by fashion, clothing and interiors. He is aware of the latest trends, do's and dont's. His films usually consist of short scenes. Clothes and props are used to portray a period image and the character is portrayed within it. Stuurhaan acts like an art director: he determines what they say and do.
