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".

Action five in the “Rorty-HeadRoom” animation-room: Failure of the relativity machine. … There is not such a thing as an invisible world, only degrees of perfection in the organs. … Placement of traditional priest- and sjamanhood on the earth. … An amount of  infinite small and rapid elements. … No resistance, very fast. … Mass=energy. … Jazz & Blues. — AMVK
