What are the essential elements of an image? The question how our visual language works and what an image exactly is, plays an important role in my work. Based upon these issues the idea for the project images from thin air took shape. The starting point for this work was the quest for the gist of an image. Inspired by cliche movie scenes which were collected and analysed, self-recorded film material was created. In these almost completely black video fragments the visual information is reduced to a minimum. The images, which literally emerge out of the void, are an experiment about our perception of what we call imagery.
In the beginning of 2014, this work was presented in the form of nine video projections in public places in the city centre of Groningen, NL
