ZOALS MIJ GEWOON IS
As is common to me
“In 2018, I was a guest at arts festival PLAN B in Bekegem. There I stayed with a host family: Noël and Marijke. A special bond developed that, despite our different world views, made a lasting impression on me. In the years that followed, I returned to Bekegem several times to work on Zoals mij gewoon is; an art project consisting of diary entries, photographs, prints and videos. An attempt to connect our worlds, which at first sight are very different from each other.” - Maite Vanhellemont
In the summer of 2024, a large-format print was presented on the garage door of Noël and Marijke's home as part of SPOOR Kunstfestival 2024. During the weekend of Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, 2024, Maite Vanhellemont closed the project at the same place where it started, with a videoinstallation and conversation in the Dorpstraat in Bekegem (BE), produced by Kunstenplatform Plan B.
