Michelle Piergoelam (b. 1997, Rotterdam) is an art photographer who graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. She creates visual stories based upon cultural myths, dreams and memories. She consciously draws from native legends and geography, building on the importance to preserve and share in the diversity of history and anthropology. These images bear witness to the human condition and our innate desire to tell stories. With her most recent project ‘The untangled tales’ she was nominated for Blurring the Lines 2020 and the Kassel Dummy Award 2020, attaining second prize for the Zilveren Camera Prize for Storytelling 2020.
