Jessica de Rooij

Born in 1981, this artist has built a distinctive voice within the field of sound, exploring how listening shapes perception and space. Their practice draws on careful listening, field recording, and sculptural idea, often transforming environments into intimate sonic moments. With a background that spans multidisciplinary collaboration, they approach sound as a material—crafting textures, rhythms, and contours that reveal subtle connections between people, places, and memory. The work favors curiosity over certainty, inviting audiences to inhabit quiet, resonant places where listening becomes an active, reflective act. Dedication to experimentation and process marks a steady progression across projects and collaborations.
