Artist statement "There is the acceptance of ordinary reality, the known, and what is less familiar, the unknown: a spectacle of a visual conflict that excites me every day. The ignored plays an important role here, or what Sigmund Freud calls an "uncanny" experience.“ Little twists of the brain, small movements in the everyday that no one observes or the details that no one notices. Or a bizarre flow of images. These are all things that inspire me in the making of an image, a photograph, a sketch or moving pictures. The process is intuitive and associative. Creating my own world, or character come about by connecting this association that trigger me from experiences in everyday life. Usually the technique used is also what feels best at the time to create the desired atmosphere. The process to the technique is varied. Usually in the form of a kind of "collage". The slowness of observing an image how I also like to look at reality ( tiny details), are sometimes strange but on the other hand you come closer too. This is like a trip through another universe. I was born in Mechelen in 1987. After graduating from Sint-Lukas Brussel, I was invited for the residency programme at WIELS in Brussels 2020. There I started with the development of a new film Movement Collage, in which I create a world of my own using 16mm and super 8 material from archives, but also my own material. By means of collage techniques and stop motion I enable blurring the boundaries of the different media. The slowness of the movement emphasises the process of viewing.
