De Huid Voelt
Description
De Huid Voelt is a diptych on my view of my parents. With this observational video portrait I address the changing perceptions I have of my family. In the diptych the struggles of observing the aging bodies of my parents are depicted. The video about my father examines what it does to a child to see the aged, naked body of his parents, while the video about my mother addresses the pain of a child to see his mother struggling with her less valid body. In this project I express with an intimate and poetic voice the difficulties concerning letting go of and simultaneously holding on to the environment one grows up in.
