Ana Torfs (née en 1963, Mortsel) est une artiste visuelle belge. La tension entre le texte et l'image a un rôle essentiel dans mon travail, à côté des processus annexes de visualisation, d'interprétation et de traduction. Elle tente de rendre possible une perception actuelle et authentique des vestiges épars de notre histoire culturelle et politique. Ses installations comprennent divers types de médias reproductibles allant des projections de diapositives, son, photographie, vidéos et films à la xérographie, au tissage Jacquard, à l'imprimerie offset et à la sérigraphie.
