collaboration with Anne Ausloos
December 2020, I received the invitation of artist Anne Ausloos to produce a film of her wall. This Wall in her studio presented all of the abundant discoveries she made in town and along the river, during walks and bike rides. This spatial ‘drawing’ on the wall took possession of her studio. It became a cosmos that slowed down time, or as Anne puts it in her farewell letter to the Wall: “... we were in conversation, together in a world within itself, a world of thought that is now so strongly internalized that, together, we decided to let go of this mode of collaboration.” While creating my film for Anne, I came with the suggestion that Anne and her son Martijn, who has closely followed the development of the project, each write a letter addressed to the Wall.
The Booklet Letters to my Wall brings together several letters to Anne’s Wall.
