About STRP
Today we live in a world overwhelmed with a stream of information.
We constantly have to choose: stick to yourself or emerge in what goes around you.
It makes me wonder:
How do I filter all this information?
How do I guard my limits/borders?
What is that border? My skin?
How do I make sure that I get the information I do want?
What’s the use of all this information?
What, on the other hand, comes from the inside out?
What is my part in this?
What do I bring in?
How to keep it close to me?
Do I emerge in what’s around me or do I emerge in my body?
What gives me my identity?
What makes me authentic?
In short: How do I keep the inside and outside balanced?
Thechnology has a huge part in this high pace and multitude of information and to me the STRP festival 2009 gave me a good opportunity to see how my questions would show themselves.I was given the chance to walk around with my camera at the festival and with
these eyes I took pictures.
I also volunteered to help evaluate the festival which enabled me to talk about this subject with a lot of visitors of the festival.
My photographs are sort of my evaluation of the festival.
These pictures I called : ‘outside in’.
I found that some performances had quite an impact.
They made me wonder how people responded and were effected by them.
As eyes are ‘the mirrors of the soul’ they reflect the inside of a person to the outside world so I decided to make a series of eyes of people entering and leaving the performance “ZEE” of Kurt Hentschläger.
This collage I called: ‘inside out’ – eyes before and after ZEE’
All and all I spent 6 days at the festival.
A lot of pictures I made didn’t suit the series: ‘outside in’ and ‘inside out’ , but I think they are worth seeing.
This is the third part.
At last I would like to say:
To Cindy Iseli of the STRP festival: thanx for giving me the opportunity to walk
around with my camera
To Veronique and Arnoud: thanx for letting me into your world for a week
And of course to all the visitors of the festival I met: thanx for your conversations and cooperation!
