Time in a gaze/Words about (dis)appearing things

This filminstallation is an answer – that cannot be definitive – to the questions I asked in my previous project (TRACINGS, 2010-2012): the research into the status of things, our dealing with them and our inability to find an answer to those questions. The 4 films of the new filminstallation symbolize, each in a different perception of time, the disappearing and appearing of the thing: the value of something or somebody that becomes clear when he/she/it isn’t there anymore. The three smaller films were projected on the opposite wall of the bigger central film with the hands painting a vase. A voice is telling what was the impressing by ‘painting the vase away’ during and after that act.
This installation was shown for the first time in Lokaal 01 Breda, November 2012
