A character in a film or play reveals his or her inner thoughts through movement. In a scene between two people body language is a treasure trove of information. Do they look at each other? Are they standing close? Does the body of one behave differently, at a different pace, to the other? If the movements of the body are right, one needs only half the dialogue that is written.
Our work aims to create a spatial filmic experience without the traditional narrative and use of linear storytelling. There is only light and sound. An abstract rendering of characters. And the people who wander around the exhibited work.
Where are you I miss you
Where Are You I Miss You, is a new installation developed for the gallery space - two interconnected rooms on the bel étage of a nineteenth-century townhouse. An imagined home of a young woman and a young man. Through a four-channel film installation, a sequence of short scenes unfolds across the front and back rooms, offering fragmentary glimpses into their daily lives. Moments of proximity and distance, presence and absence, suggesting the emotional contour of a shared domestic space
3 Scenes from a Marriage

3 Scenes of a Mariage is een filminstallatie speciaal gemaakt voor IFFR Art Directions 2026
Samengesteld door Eva Langerak.
