"Questions about authenticity undoubtedly come to mind when considering contemporary photography. In the case of Dutch photographer Annick Ligtermoet's New York solo debut, 'De Verontrustende Wereld' (The Uncanny World), such speculation is complicated not only by the vintage aura of her black-and-white and muted color photographs but also by their presentation alongside aged private objects."

Mara Hoberman on 'De Verontrustende Wereld', Artforum.com


"(...) Indeed, Ligtermoet's work can feel "authorless" in that her images and objects evoke the feeling of something you have seen or encountered before. Yet, understanding where or when that might have been is where her work confounds. One is always befuddled when encountering the uncanny, locating the origin of one's memory the work of a lifetime."

"De donkere thematiek in haar foto's is opvallend, maar ook de diversiteit in stijlen. Ligtermoet werkt zowel analoog als digitaal, bouwt uitgebreide decors in de studio en maakt daarnaast impulsieve momentopnames. Ze wisselt statige, verstilde portretten af met landschapsfotografie. Alles wordt uitvoerig digitaal bewerkt, wat de beelden een sfeer van vervreemding meegeeft."
