Video-still WATCH THE VIDEO
In 2015 I shot two short video’s in my studio that were mostly steeped in an associative way of linking images together:
Man on stage with a torch => lightning striking on stage => man in raincoat => a Dutch proverb about the weather => stormy weather outside a window => closing of curtains => etcetera.
It was a way of letting my thoughts run free. And in this manner a new film-character appeared that I called ‘the Raincoatman”. Some years on and “Raincoatman” is now a character with an important role in a performance I am developing.
So these video’s show the shaping of this character. It is like sketching an idea. Not on paper but in space, time, reality and video.
