This book conveys to the reader how many negative messages we are confronted with, in a newspaper, on a day to day basis. The aim of the book is to make the reader aware of how these words may affect someone with depression. (This book was presented at the 2017 Frankfurt Book Fair “Frankfurter Buchmesse” where I gave a talk about the concept of the book)

︎ Ostranenie - The purpose of art is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known. The technique of art is to make objects 'unfamiliar', to make forms difficult, to increase the difficulty and length of perception because the process of perception is an aesthetic end in itself and must be prolonged. Art is a way of experiencing the artfulness of an object; the object is not important (Viktor Shklovsky "Art as Technique") This installation was exhibited at LUSTlab in The Hague
︎ Right: For the exhibition 'Metafiction' I made a video called 'Behind the Green Door (made out of footage from the eponymous film) focussing on the term 'interracial', Showing that concepts of race relations are clearly antiquated within the porn industry ︎ Left: Tears from the past - Video Experiment were I try to combine grief with photographs (which represent memories) from before my troubled childhood started. The drips symbolises tears and the refraction of the water symbolises the fading and distortion of a memory.
Concurrence (Video) - Our childhood is the fundament for how we develop as an adult. However how we experience childhood is very personal and unique. But playing is a universal part of being a child and it’s also a concurrent thing. Unfortunately this playfulness gradually disappears over time. So when we look at footage of children playing we see how we used to be, although we don’t realise the effect this playfulness had on the construction of the present. This movie was shown at the Cinedans film festival at the EYE filmmuseum
