Arianne Olthaar (1970) lives and works in The Hague. 
Her work, which consists of miniature models, photographs 
and experimental films, has a strong focus on the 
once-luxurious and -modern interiors in public spaces 
built in the 1970s and 80s (primate enclosures, dining 
cars, hotel nightclubs, discotheques, etc.). Today these
interiors have taken an aura of faded glory and 
are increasingly disappearing through renovation or 
demolition. For a number of her projects Olthaar traveled 
to Eastern and Southeastern Europe and was staying as an 
artist in residence in Dresden, Riga and Warsaw.
