You raised yourself to heroism

Graduation work. Dutch spoken. Subtitle in English and French Portrait of colonial Dutch Indies (Army) KNIL officer Jo Disse. The video traits the heroism of Mr Disse and let’s him show his cherished recollection in original pictures and fantastic stories. The stories form a recollection and remembrance of 60 years of his (colonial) life in Indonesia (former Netherlands Indies), from a successful merchant to a war hero for the British Empire (Decorated MBE) and thereafter, at the rise of a free, liberated Indonesia.

Ce qui a lieu c’est le lieu (Mallarmé)

‘That which takes place is the place (Mallarmé)’

Graduation multimedia installation. Multi-modal and multi-media project created way before the multimedia integration into the computer machines happened. Usage of various techniques of film making and video, photography (mono and stereo, and panorama) and audio design. One of my graduating project at the Artez, Arnhem Hogeschool voor de kunsten, Holland. The project focused on expressing visual language of French vernacular typography and aesthetics in general. A voyage to the source (in my native country and about Christmas time) to re-discover the limits and liberties of French graphic design origins. Searching the boundaries of ugliness as a visual concept.
