Rooy, Felix de

Besides being an artist, Felix de Rooy (1952) is a poet, writer, dramatist, filmmaker, director and curator. In De Rooy’s case, an evaluation of his artistic achievements is not complete without taking his whole oeuvre into account including the films, theatre productions and curatorial projects.
He studied at the Vrije Akademie Psychopolis in The Hague and received his MA in filming and directing at the New York University in 1982.

From his multi-disciplinary background, he makes collages, assemblages and installations and so frequently giving statements on the inheritance of slavery with the aim to keep debating on this black page in the history of humanity and not conceal it.

In his monograph Ego Documenta (2012) Felix de Rooy describes his background poetically: “As an inheritor of colonial orgasm, as an unrecognized bastard erased from the European Testament, I escape from the prison of genetics and historical identity.”
