Rebekka Bank (1998, Denmark) is an artist, designer and chef based in Amsterdam. 
Driven by a multidisciplinary approach she bridges performance, design, ecology, 
creative writing, and culinary arts into an ever-changing creative mixture.

Her foremost aim is to make works that remind us to be present. Being in a world 
propelled by efficiency and overstimulation, she is interested in activating deeper 
levels of attention to cultivate the mindset needed in order to harmonise with our environments.

In her work you will encounter elements such as rocks, miniature pockets, 
imaginary maps, ryegrass, multifunctional garments, recipes and suggestive writing systems, 
altogether as expressions of the subtle poetic dimensions of our everyday lives that reveals 
our close relationship to all living things.

Next to her individual practice, she is a part of several creative collaborations: the creative 
food studio leftover.prep together  with Gea Cignozzi, as well as the artist duo MIST together with tomastmt.
