Video installation, 2005, at LOKAAL_01 Breda 2007, Burning Marl, curator Frederik Vergaert in Seppenshuis Zoersel, 2005. A woman walking through 3 video images. Three screens display how the day’s light passes by: from the early morning light until late at night. Along with the woman the artist walks through the forest, in the same rhythm, the same pace. Off-screen she looks through the camera, fragmenting time. The age-old androgynous trees are a vertical constant along which the woman moves, as if in an interval between visibility and invisibility, between sound and silence, while the light keeps on evolving metabletically.

"The problem is the filming of unstylized reality in such a way that the result does have a style." Part of the tradition of radical cinema the energetic collage of "Sales images" is organized sonic and visual chaos that - citing Magritte ("This is not a pipe") - addresses the issue of representation and illusion.
