Sometimes I’m dying, sometimes I’m alive
Sometimes it creeps in like moments of lies
Sometimes it haunts me and I cannot go back
I begin to question ‘why should I do that?’

Sometimes I wonder, sometimes, sometimes
when doubts start coming, I’m troubled inside
Sometimes I wander, sometimes, sometimes
I see the light shining, and I could never give up.

Translucent is an in situ installation presented as a «trompe l’oeil» in an empty rectangular room. It extends the space in an evanescent landscape, appearing and disappearing in an organic rhythm, like a mirage in a deserted location.

The work is based on a series of pictures taken in the industrial haven of Gent. Detached from their original location they are combined in a phantasmagorical vision where light has a determinant role. The luminous effects are enhanced by the use of reflective pigments while the mixing and fading of the images is aleatory so that the experience is always singular and renewed.

Translucent has been produced for Resonant Frequencies, a Threeplusone collective project at the Oude Nijverheidschool during the Open Atelier, Gent 2010.
With Hallveig Ágústsdóttir (Is), Marie-Laure Delaby (Be), Juan Duque (Co), Sabrina Harri (Fi), Yannick Franck (Be) and Melissa Mabesoone (Be).
