Muriwai Arts Trail 2010
Veronique Desmet
As a video artist, I create moments of coexistence. I am interested in bringing together worlds that are so-called from different origins (architectural, cultural, social, natural, …) and exploring what their simultaneous presence creates in a space. I consider my video installations as events. I work with the projected video image, the architectural space, and the people passing through it. I play with the notions of time, ephemerality, repetition, change, movement, presence, creation, colour, light and I explore how they develop in different environments. My video works are like drops, spaces of light that we choose to see or not to see: sunlight on the kitchen bench on a Sunday morning. A pause. They appear, repeat themselves and unroll for the duration of a moment in a chosen space. They open our space of perception to our environment. They bring us back to ourselves.
