Middle Gate

    NLEN

    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".

    (Here Lives My House)

    "A tribute to my parental house where my family organized feasts for other people during 50 years. It becomes now property of an Antwerp theatre. This film is my impotence to undergo changes over which I have no control. I exorcize hereby nostalgia and grief by sharing it with you. The film was mostly shown with live music performance of Club Moral."
