The exhibition project Middle Gate II – The Story of Dymphna is a collaboration between M HKA (Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp) and the cultural centre de Werft in Geel. Middle Gate II is the follow up to the exhibition Middle Gate, curated by Jan Hoet in Geel in 2013. The exhibition concept is closely tied to the legend of the holy Dymphna, saint of the possessed, the mentally ill and patroness against epilepsy and insanity. The legend of Dymphna shares a strong connection to the identity of Geel, "the charitable city".

Behind the mirror, on a black and white stapled floor (freemasonry), three monitors, the dissection of a conversation under men on easy moneymaking. Title: “Il faut convaincre les investisseurs“ (“You have to persuade the investors”), which actually was the first sentence of the discussion.
