Loops IV (Philippe Hurel), 2017
Through the Loops compositions, Hurel examines how a rather intuitively musical subject gives shape to a composition. This by using strict processes. I used this intuitive approach by looking at movement in nature and the commonness, banality. Interaction and teamwork between image and music arises.

Silent Animal, 2017
This video projection is based on a poem of the Belgian poet, Hugo Claus. It reminded me of fish in aquariums and consists of four times four sentences. I created four groups of different images and called them: scales, moshpits, dreamy corals and love pairs. Every sentence suits the type of image that is used.
The images were made in the Aquarium of Brussels.
​
the poem
Scales, feathers sting and my skin is jumping
And exposes her worms
When your breath meets mine
And shadow plays forms.
​
If I touch you
Become the flint of my stone seed
a cold fire,
An evil tide.
Like the silent animal
I swell when I enter into you.
We are mixed en
Fulfilled by the most alienating language,
By the secret burning
The Blinded Walk,
The cruelty of smoked hands,
Through the teeth of love.
