Marleen Sleeuwits Hollandaise, 1980

Marleen Sleeuwits (b. 1980) is a Dutch multidisciplinary artist working in photography, sculpture, and installation. Based in The Hague, her art aims to challenge perceptions of scale, perspective and spatial reality. Her work is characterized by what she terms the "peau des villes" (skin of cities) concept, exploring how humans relate to built environments through temporary interventions in vacant spaces. Her work engages with architectural spaces and the built environment, often involving temporary interventions in vacant or unused locations.

Sleeuwits has exhibited internationally with solo shows at institutions such as Fotomuseum Den Haag, Kunsthal, and the Centre Photographique Rouen Normandie. Her work is held in collections including Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Valkhof Museum and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She was recognized as FOAM Talent in 2012 and won the Meijburg Art Commission in 2019.
