Benjamin Pompe (NL, 1997) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice moves between physical and digital media. He often works with a collaborative approach. Whether in collectives, workshops, or shared storytelling processes, where collaboration is not just a method but the foundation of his practice.

His work takes form through printmaking, sculpture, animation, video installation, and performance. These mediums are not treated as fixed categories but as connected tools with an evolving, hybrid language that blends elements from each discipline into unified expressions.

Pompe’s practice involves sampling, remixing, and reinterpretation of online materials. He develops strategies that revisit art history and myth through counter-narrative storytelling. These narratives challenge dominant white-cube conventions and foreground collective production, accessibility, and participation. His work often invites collaboration with individuals beyond the traditional boundaries of the art field. This expands who is included in the act of creation and meaning-making.

This fantastical worldbuilding aims to create space between the different political, personal, and cultural narratives people hold. It offers a new site for myth-making where tension between fact and fiction is constantly questioned, highlighting how these differences can either divide people or bring them closer together.

Through an emphasis on affect. His practice creates space for alternative ways of seeing and imagining, resisting fixed hierarchies. In doing so, it gestures toward speculative futures made through various voices. Here, the digital is reclaimed not as rigid or merely technological, but as playful, intuitive, with a childlike sense of magic.
