Eye /ai/ :1) the organ of sight; 2) the power of seeing; 3) to look at closely or with desire; 4) homophone akin with 'i'
Compile /kǝm'pail/: 1) to put together in a single collection; 2) to make from facts found in various places
I prefer observing, collecting images, trying to be open and be in the middle of the moment to capture the beauty of the accidental. I prefer using these slices of life in a rather direct, simple manner. Although I use a digital camera, the films are more linked to cinematography than video, I guess.
My videos have been shown for example in Kunstuitleen Utrecht (the Netherlands), Saksala ArtRadius (Finland) and at the Discus Event, Sheffield, UK.
Besides making video's, I write (professionally) on subjects like (experimental) cinema and video, music and soundart (field recordings, improv and jazz, soundscape), art, photography and architecture, since 2000.
Worked at the Netherlands Filmmuseum from 1990 - 2000, identifying and making reconstructions of films from early filmhistory.
