Lou De Buck studied Visual Arts at the Secundair Kunstinstituut (SKI), got her master’s degree in Fine Arts – Media Art and a master’s degree in Teaching Audiovisual Art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK – now schoolofartsgent) in Ghent.

Her work has been exhibited at the Designmuseum, Rockoxhuis, De Snoepwinkel (Vooruit), Zebrastraat and Victoria Deluxe, among others.

Lou creates video installations, illustrations and writes texts. In her work, she often shows us portraits and environments that balance between documentary and fiction.

The scale of her video work can range from the size of a tablet to a spatial video installation. Her work places social and cultural-historical reflection at the forefront. It questions the entangled relationship between reality and representation, between what we see and what we create for ourselves.
