audiovisueel - autobiografisch

I use painting, sculpture and video to draw attention to the inaccuracies between experience and material. I am looking for the interval separating perception and the thing; the space (eg, situational, political, metaphorical) in which misunderstanding and obscurity are unintentional but inevitable factors.

    • The open studio will feature a series of images and a video about the material I collected along the way. During the self-quarantine period I used the materials I had access to; the fabric works are made from my former roommate's bed sheets, extending from the room where I have been living, out the window, to the edge of the property. The small objects in the containers were found when I was roaming the border, and I tried to restore them as they should be.

    • For the exhibition With Permission From the Officer has invited artists who currently face or have gone through similar situations with the IND to copy a landscape from the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal. The first artist selected a photo and copied the image. Each successive artist copied the resulting artwork using their own interpretation in the following order. In this way, a game of “telephone” creates its own visual trajectory from the Dutch border into different aspects of art and life.

    • Sensibility and suspicion have made me realize that I have an inaccurate perception of what communication, culture and art are in Western society. I extracted this inaccuracy concept from images, news, conversation and facts from daily life. I’m using and combining it in my practice as an artist through a humorous and alternative way. Therefore, in my work ideas of hiding and shelter, copy and specification, hoarding and consuming are referred to, but with them, comes falsehoods and illusions.
