Wim Catrysse - Witness. Listen… and sign as having seen

Wim Catrysse - Witness. Listen… and sign as having seen

Video installations made by Wim Catrysse appeal physically and directly to the spectator’s world of experience. Through simple technical means, he realises highly suggestive images, which play with the existential context of the individual. His attention is principally aimed at corporeal expression, at the language of the body. The images have an alienating and grasping side to them, which is supported by the fragmentation of sound and image, the intensity and the ephemeral character. This first survey publication about his work contains an essay by Jon Thompson and an interview with the artist by Sam Ainsley.
