is a space to experiment with imagery, where subdued issues come to the surface. I am an archiver of short video’s. Since many years. I shoot clips of things or skins that stimulate, matter to me. Flesh, alienation, re-enchantment. Re-appropriating the (fe)male gaze. It is layered and associative, a space to rest and at the same time to (make one) feel uncomfortable.
Urgency; a myth (2023) | 7:06 min
In the video-work ‘URGENCY, A MYTH’ (2023) I continued my research into rest as a form of resistance against capitalism; I filmed my body at rest. Let rest be our security amidst the chaos that is coming to us, because we are, as Tricia Hersey beautifully writes, divine beings thrown into this planetary chaos. When chaos is the only constant, the way to survive is through the shutting off of ‘grind culture’, mass production and thus make space for the allowance of ease. So sleep, bodies of disruption, enter the new era of craziness, hold on to the breath of your skin because it might be the only surface that you will forever recognise.
Discontinuity of Lust (2023) | 3:26 min
In this work I respond on the (growing up in) the modern age of pornification of everything (Byung-Chul Han) with a femme-read body that experiences lust, but is lost at the same time, in defining their own lust. How to experience the already externalized internal? What effect does the advertisment industry of unhealthy and artificial body-perfection have on the potential of experiencing lust from one’s body? Can we truly experience lust from the inside after living this life surrounded advertisement capitalism, flooded by images, internalizing the standard so deeply? This is a work adhering to reappropriate that lust, while at the same time laying bare subconscious entanglements.
I find: a body that is queer, sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly, sometimes messy, sometimes clean, sometimes dissociated, sometimes excited, sometimes playfull, hatefull, fluid, smelly, fat, porous, soft: a body with intestines and intensity.
Re:collecting Lilith (2022) | 3:04 min
Working at the intersection of poetry, sound and video, this three-minute video work re:collecting Lilith can be seen as a visual poem; as an invitation of entering the liminal space between the real and the imagined, the politics of rest, the liberation of the female body and an outcry or longing for mythological meaning. As a rather short but dense piece of poetic research, it takes the viewer into the schizophrenic inner-psychology and restlessness of modern times, into a disrupted dream-space, into a search for leftovers of the enchanted and divinity of nature, or at least an attempt to hold on to ‘that something’ that is continuously and collectively disappearing.
In re:collecting Lilith, we meet a figure who hides in the underworlds, withdrawing from—or rather, opposing—fast-paced life, inviting us to reach out to rest. We look at her, we become her. So, take her hand because she will lead us out of the epidemic of exhaustion. She resists by actively floating in the liminal, resting in the current. Because at the end, rest is resistance.
What a Witch Would Do (2022)
Visual piece to the track I made with Konrad Ruda, under the name of NINA LYN. From a poem came the music.
