"Elspeth Diederix (nacida en Nairobi, Kenya, 1971) es una artista que siempre está en movimiento. Viajar para ella es una forma de vida. Aunque la mayoría de sus fotografías están tomadas en lugares exóticos,... rara vez se encuentran evidencias de esto en su trabajo. Manteniendo su objetividad y distancia del tema fotografiado consigue crear una sensación de alienación en sus fotografías, … los objetos cotidianos pierden su sentido de familiaridad, adquieren otro significado y parecen ser casi abstractos. Tales momentos son utilizados por Elspeth Diederix como punto de partida para sus imágenes."

Photographer from Amsterdam.
"Elspeth Diederix (born Nairobi, Kenya, 1971) is an artist who is always on the move. Travelling for her is a way of life. Even though most of her photographs are taken in exotic locations, evidence of this is seldom found in her work. Purposefully she herself remains on the outside. Instead of being absorbed by the setting of her subject, she prefers to maintain a high degree of detachment. This enables her to create a sense of alienation and in her photographs she achieves this by stripping everyday objects of what normally one takes for granted. There comes a moment when everyday objects lose their sense of familiarity, acquire another meaning and seem to become almost abstract. Such moments are used by Elspeth Diederix as a starting point for her images."
