Sara Blokland can be counted to those artists that use photography and video in a conceptual manner . Her photo's and films are frequently presented in the context of an installation . Sara Blokland's work often explores the representation of the concept of family ,exploring the  confusing  ambiguity, between personal and impersonal. Her  work forces the viewer into the narrow space between voyeurism and real intimacy, and thus it is brutally honest and even explicit. She examines the way photography and video witness events, and investigates to what extent images derive their meaning from the context in which they have been created, what are the roles that certain aspects such as 'pose' and 'privacy' play in the interpretation of the spectator, and what is the meaning of photographic 'credibility' of images. With that  she  reveals the complicated relation that photography has with 'reality'.
