2010 EDEGEM Belgium : Huis Hellemans
Song on Geneviève's house, herself and the beautiful view over Liege.
Poem in dutch :
Genevièves huis
Haar raam : een vergezicht op vele daken,
één puntglas in het front, in wijnranken gehuld : haar tuin.
De morgen kriekt,
hij zendt stad, bomen, groeisels tot bij het ruime bed.
Ik zit erbij te dromen
en hoor het lopen van de tijd.
De zon drukt vreugde in mijn oog.
Een stem vermaant me voort te maken.
In 't stille donker van de deur :
het schijnsel van haar warme wezen :
bekommernis, verschil en gelijkenis.
Haar vast figuur als licht in duisternis.
De droom gescheurd.
Ik kleed me aan.
Gabriëlla Cleuren 2009

The extreme loneliness, silence, disappearance of others and painfull consciousness.
Peu de contact, isolation pour pouvoir travailler (peindre à pleine concentration) l’épous qui est toujours parti, ou les autres êtres humains qui sont absent.
On regarde soi même dans le miroir et se pose la question, ‘Quel est le but de l’art?-investigation,devenir conscient de ce qu’on fait
Le colérique : quelq’un qui se fache facillement et se trouve dans une situation sans pouvoir, qu’il ne peut pas maitriser. (le cerclel’indique) On essaye d’intervenir parce”que ce personage est enfermé dans sa propre identité
Cats are better friends for people than people itself.

These objects are an attempt to express the virtues and vices , the happiness and unhappiness of human beings giving them a statue. For this purpose I use wavecardboard I paint it aftherwards and so it gets its presence.

Without clothes I feel a lot better.
- When will I get a normal live back?

Afraid of what the day will bring. The ghosts at night bring bad news. Therefore they are with many. The women don't know how to handle thsi and split up in dififrent stages.
