Freek Drent is a Dutch visual
artist who studied at the Willem
De Kooning Academy in
Rotterdam. In the more-than
two decades since then he
has worked around the world
producing collages, installations,
video productions and
digital art. After finishing an
artist’s residency in Beijing
in 2008 he moved to Vietnam
where he now lives. His current
focus is on photography where
he records scenes of daily life
in the city’s hidden, gloomy alleyways.
