Title: “GLOBAL LIES” Medium: Silkscreen on tiles Year: 2005 Starting price: 50€ This peace is part of a bigger project named “Art isn’t true it’s just something that we do”, this project aims to comment in different ways, nowadays art practice thru heteronymous, I practice in different mediums and forms. This is a peace of Apolinario, a graphic designer that is a graffiti artist two, He plays with words, and has some political connotations on his work, also cultural references, he is Portuguese and he uses tiles as a support for his words. This way of practicing makes a turn on my artistic process, as a strategy not to become a collectable, and to be able to express myself in different ways with no authorial purpose.

Title: “NO TITLE” Medium: Inkjet print, 38 × 58 cm Year: 2006 Starting price: 200€ Collecting memories of anonymous people, and than transforming them by hand. I use a knife, I kill the old history and make it my own.
4.
Title: “UNTITLED” Dimensions: A4 × 3 Year: 2006 Starting price: 10€ These three pictures were made on the Stagliano Cemetery, Italy, they belong to a bigger series which deals with the “big topic”. My personal goal was to show life, death, space, time, differences, mistakes..... in a perfect constructed image. This image was found on a place where time and quantity loses it’s role. Things appear in the sunlight as symbols, metaphors and strange way of looking at things. Losing the main intention of a really images becomes faked. The sunlight and the architecture starts to play tricks even when your mind is clear, the photograph gets lost in a labyrinth of Fatamorgana.

Title: “KIDDO-CEE AND KGB” Edition: 1 Dimensions: 84 × 118 cm Year: 2005 Starting price: 50€ pip pip
6.
Title: “TEST” Dimensions: A5 Starting price: 55 cents I called my work “test” because I don’t know what to do with it yet, if its finished or not, it are two picks made this year in china, I put apoxie over it to make the glass feeling stronger, I think it has to do with transmission for me because I almost never take pics of people anymore, while I used to do that all the time, I mostly just don’t feel like it, but maybe I am just afraid, feel its to confronting, this people are quite safe cause they are behind glass. Lately I have been taking more pics of people
7.
Title: “REPTILE IN COFFEE CUP” Dimensions: 14 × 19 cm Year: 1986 Starting price: 15€ This image is probably one of the first pictures that I took. I was about seventeen and made it on the kitchen table.
8.
Title: “ME” Medium: Object ca. 20 × 19 × 14 cm Year: 2001 Starting price: 100€ ME started out as an assignment to create a conceptional self portrait in the Rietveld basic year. I started to build up a shape out of nowhere and without any plan from wire, strings, plastic, cotton and other stuff, hidden under the rubber skin of the object. The idea was to represent my chaotic way of growing myself, and my random way of working, starting from
nowhere ending in some weird fantasy that does not show the source of its origin. The result surprised myself completely. My teacher did not accept this as conceptual at all, he thought it is a complete failure in answering the assignment, even though he liked the object. Afterwards I made another work, accepted in a classic concept ional way, which forms the transition of my understanding of conceptual art. The object ME is more or less the last random work before this transition. Unbound fantasy and mystery is still an important factor for me after all and shall never be forgotten yet be applied in a more conscious manner.
9.
Title: “OMICRON” Medium: DVD Year: 1997 Starting price: 35€ Could be interpreted as a work about metamorphosis in it’s subject matter and execution, but in reality it represents for me the moment when I - for the first time - seriously questioned what it is to be an artist and the historicity of the production and re-production of art. The accompanying “EGG” (1995) is essentially my first video performance...
10.
Title: “ACRE” Acre: 1 Medium: C-print, mounted on aluminium, 50 × 60 cm Year: 2003 Starting price: 75€ I have another dead darling for you, since you asked for one again. A piece of Germany too, like the first one. It must show my desire to plant and harvest potatoes by hand, like I love to do in my mother’s garden, but then on a greater scale to obtain maximum pleasure and supreme satisfaction.
11.
Title: “A SURFACE OF THE BEAUTIFUL NATURE” Dimensions: 70 × 100 cm Year: 2005 Starting price: 205€ The reason of metamorphosis: Because there is a metamorphosis between the surface and its behind.
12.
Title: “FINALS DAY” Dimensions: 5 times 13 × 15 cm in a sandwich bag Year: 2005 Starting price: 63 cents Sometimes I really need to be pushed...... On shaky legs I send you, owow, again Georgia, but yes my documentary adventure and its outcome were really important to me. Was I doing my best there to be documentary, I think it’s still in the middle of something else.
13.
Title: “SKIRT FROM A BROKEN UMBRELLA” Medium: Umbrella upper waterproof fabric, 70 cm in diameter Year: 2005 Starting price: 5€ ...a broken umbrella is a thing which is thrown away; I saw a possibility of making waterproof skirts out of the unnecessary umbrella fabric...
14.
Title: “DEINSTALLING” Medium: B/W print, 24 × 18 cm Year: 2005 Starting price: 50€ 15.
Title: “BOOK” Dimensions: 14 × 10 cm Starting price: 13€ Book has no actual title, the edition I am not sure of because I did some but don’t remember how many but it could not have bin more than 10 so edition maximum 10? would that be oke? And I made the book after I saw the film Blow Up from Michelangelo Antonioni.
16.
Title: “UNTITLED” Medium: C-print, 30 × 37.5 cm Year: 2004 Starting price: 30€ Why this piece of work is given to the auction: Because soon after this picture, I moved to a complete different way of looking and working.
17.
Title: “SECONDARY” Medium: Fabric covered casette containing pictures, 13 × 18 cm Year: 2004 Starting price: 20€ What was I thinking? SECONDARY was my baby. SECONDARY was the only thing on my mind. I believed in SECONDARY. Seldom had I put so much care, thought, and trust in a work in progress. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but it had to be something big. Something personal. Something worth the struggle. And just when SECONDARY really grew substantial in every dimension... I produced my best work. I’m sorry it happened SECONDARY. I’m sorry I forgot about you. I’m sorry for video. That you were left in the darkroom. And that you never saw the light. SECONDARY, darling.
18.
Title: “THE MAKING OF PSYCHO” Medium: DVD Year: 2005 Starting price: 1€ So the video price we said 1€, I write I u smthing tmrow!!!

Title: “BLACK CAR” Medium: B/W print Year: 2000 Starting price: 60€ ”Because its a big black Car.”
20.
Title: “THE MASTER AND THE ORIGINAL” Dimensions: Large Year: 2006 Starting price: 15€ A very beautiful lady asked Michel Piccoli why he has other people, why he cant make his own work, why cant his own brain. He, adoring her but yet contempt, told shut up. Metamorphosis in a world without inventions, discoveries.
to copy he use her to only
Starting price: or do u think less or more, I don’t know, choose a number at random. Yeh! Could u choose a number spontaneity at the auction?
21.
Title: “FRANKENSTEIN EXPERIMENT #3” Medium: Mixed media Year: 2006 Starting price: 200€ This piece is one from a series titled “Frankenstein experiments”. I was trying to figure out how to make a monster from parts of living specimens today. I didn’t want to just start with Godzilla and than be done. I wanted to make hybrids. I started with small collages, taking limbs and pieces from animals found in National Geographic and other natural science resources. the end results were nice and some even beautiful, but they spoke nothing of the process. How do I make an image of these different parts coming together. I wanted to make art with a pseudoscientific flavor. I wanted the feeling that doctor Frankenstein himself helped with the idea. So I found an anatomy book with different animal’s skeletal and muscular diagrams. this piece is just one of many ways I’ve attempted piecing the beast together. it is not the end result, but a stepping stone in an exploration of a new idea.
22.
Title: “ZELFKLEVENDE HAKJE” (“SELF-ADHESIVE HOOK”) Medium: 925 silver, 3 × 3 × 1.3 cm Year: 2004 Starting price: 15€ This is the only silversmith work I made when I graduated from jewelry department. it took me several years to think about what is jewelry and this piece is one of the important conclusion of it: I finally made a “jewelry piece for a room”, but somehow I also decided I will not be a traditional jewelry designer.
23.
Title: “TIGER-BIRD” Medium: Wooden box, brass plate, puzzle pieces, needles Year: 2005 Starting price: 30€ This piece underwent a distinct metamorphosis considering it began its life as a poem. It was also a very literal effort to force photography join that elusive third dimension.
24.
Title: “SEACLOUD/SVAHA” Medium: Drawing in siberian coal and graphite powder, 35 × 65 cm, (in alu. frame) Year: 2004 Starting price: 50€ ... On moonless nights, water and sand are one shade of black, and the creamy foam rising with moaning noises charges like a spectral army in a poem toward the bluffs before it subsides dreamily to gather again.
I thought of going down there to watch it a while, feeling as though it could turn me into fog, or that the wind would start to speak a language and change me --... (from The History of my Heart, Robert Pinsky) Following an inborn preference for austerity and simplicity I usually work on paper and in black and white. In the course of ten years, my drawings gradually became darker, until at some point three years ago I was working on huge dark expanses using the deep velvety black of finely ground Siberian coal to make a background in which silvery ghosts of clouds and waves in graphite powder shimmered vaguely. I enjoyed the slow, almost meditative way of working the technique required and in several ways I achieved in these black drawings what I had been aiming at ever since I started drawing. The images have an open character. Although they have an identifiable subject, the images do not aggressively demand attention and they are not immediately knowable. The images themselves are not constant, they vary with the shifting of the light during the day. The images invite the viewer in, invite him to let his eyes wander and to gradually dissolve in a calm and silent world. The materials I worked with, powders rather than crayons or paint, had unpleasant effects. The air in my studio was, despite incessant airing, dense with graphite and coal particles and at times it made me wheeze and gasp for breath. It was impossible to keep anything clean for more than a day or so. The tiny black particles slowly settled on every uncovered surface, leaving a greasy, grayish film. The drawings themselves posed problems of presentation. Their fragility demands that they are framed and protected from straying elbows, wayward pocketbooks, and curious fingers by a sheet of glass. However, by putting glass in front of a black surface what you end up with is a black mirror. Unless you flood a black drawing that is framed behind glass with a huge amount of light from above or aside at a blunt angle, the image is superseded by your own reflection and that of the space behind you. Apart from these practical inconveniences, another problem emerged when I was working on my third consecutive series of these black drawings. Black in itself is where things end. It offers no starting points except escape. Leap out of the black hole and start at a more or less unrelated point. Which is what I did. I am still not using colour, but I abandoned the black surfaces and returned to a lighter world. The drawing I submit for Metamorphosis was the last one I did in black, and it was done two years ago.
25.
Title: “MARIJKE” Medium: B/W print Year: 1996 Starting price: 20€ About the picture, I had a project to portray these ladies who used to be models, to bring them back in the spot light once again, Marijke never was a model (outside Brabant) and has made this national move in the spotlight as a representative of plastic surgery ever since I took this picture.... that is why it’s a dead darling.
26.
Title: “AND THERE I FOUND MYSELF BEING WHAT I WAS NOT” Dimensions: A4, framed Year: 2006 Starting price: 20€ It’s a sketch for a set of works that use emotions, where I usually like removing them.
27.
Title: “HET VLAGGENAVONTUUR” Medium: Acrylic and vinyl paint on cotton, 166 × 286 cm Year: 2005 Starting price: 20€ I used and made the work for a happening on the Ruigoord Landjuweel festival in the summer of. The devil and the angel become friends. “Good and bad” are two sides of the same coin. I call it a-morality.
For me the work is transformal because at that time I broadened my work from photography to also drawing and painting and since then I am concentrating myself on painting.
28.
Title: “IN ANOTHER COUNTRY” Medium: DVD Year: 2001, Boston Starting price: 20€ (part of a installation) dimensions variable home sweat home yes yes yes no no no
29.
Title: “SUNDAY IN THE PARK” Medium: Reproduction of 4 × 5 inch polaroid Year: 2004 Starting price: 5€ It was a very busy day in a famous park in Tokyo, and all the cameras were pointed at the Japanese girls offering themselves up as victims to the lens when I got this feeling, a moment of longing to make a photograph empty of people, a kind of revolt against that moment.
30.
Title: “DOLL” Medium: Fabric Year: 2005 Starting price: 30€ Because she is expecting...
31.
Title: “BED&BREAKFAST” Medium: are not sure yet, either polaroid or print, sorry! Year: 2005 Starting price: 9,99€ Reasons why I chose it: Being surrounded by ugliness, yet beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
32.
Title: “CUT-UP VINYL” Medium: Assembled 7” vinyl record Length: Indeterminable, unpredictable Year: 2006 Starting price: 1€ A remix of my own end exam! all the records I made last year, leftovers and unused pieces, cut and re-assembled. it is a series of at least four 7” records, playable on turntables (although I’m not responsible for any possible damage made to the needle...), and one cover also made out of the re-assembled covers leftovers. It is not so much a dead darling, more of a mega-zombie darling made out of little (un)dead sweeties...
33.
Title: “UNTITLED (PAPER BAG)” Medium: C-print mounted on aluminum/plexiglas, 24 × 30 cm Year: 2005 Starting price: 150€ Negotiating the threshold that lies between staging and spontaneity is very familiar terrain for me in the course of making photographs. However, this image represents a significant departure in my artistic practice because it originated seven years before as a snapshot. The potency of the moment haunted me for a long time, but overall the photograph was marred by technical imperfections. Finally, I resolved to recreate it. Although I often work from pre-visualized images, (mainly sketches and drawings), I had never before attempted to rephotograph. The intention was not a perfect recreation of form, but of attaining an authentic and recognizable immediacy.
34.
Title: “CLUNK” Medium: DVD, 5 min Year: 2006 Starting price: 12,99€ In “Clunk” actions speak louder than words, however it is a piece where the words preceded the action. Inspired by a short story of the same title by Daniil Kharms, this work is a result of close reference and direct execution of a pre-existing text. In general, this is a method neither of us uses. Whether or not “Clunk” is a transitional landmark, it is definitely a step out of the old routine.
35.
Title: “BLESS THE HAIRDRESSER” Medium: Hand-made marker pen (25 cm wide), letterpress (with Alex Barbaix), original text from BLAST by Wyndham Lewis (1914). Year: 2005 Starting price: 25€ The serif, a method derived from roman stone-cutting techniques for ‘cleaning up’ rough edges and endings, was denounced as un-modern and inefficient by early modernist typographers. Recent design and fashion has formalised sansserif as synonymous with modern. However, the serif is a device that enables long spells of reading, which contradicts the underlying reductionism of modernist design and it’s supposed humanist publishing effort. Long, unkempt hair is probably the best known example of formal expression of the 1960’s. BLESS the HAIRDRESSER Printed and drawn in an edition of 30 for the Exhibition “The Free Library” in London and New York, 2005. The exhibition was curated around 1960’s structural theory and modernism.
36.
Title: “CANARY” Medium: C-print Year: 2000 Starting price: 25€ About the text: let me call you back in 5 min.
37.
Title: “THIS ART HAS BEEN STOPPED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE” Medium: Letterpress and stencil on paper, A1 size Year: 2003 Starting price: 20€ This poster was done in a very transitional period for me when I first started studying graphic design in America and I had a very strong revolt against computers. Inevitable that came out in my work very often. I was using a lot of letterpress and didn’t mind cutting out a stencil for 2 days. When I presented this work in class, my teacher remarked that the stencil could have been smaller, missing the point completely. Now that computer has become my everyday tool, the poster is simply a melancholic memory of something I was believing in so dearly but had to let go and grow in other ways.
38.
Title: “THE MAN WITH THE TALKING ASS, THE DEVIL NEVER SHITS IN THE SAME PLACE” Medium: Wooden sculpture in a selfmade suitcase, 65 × 60 × 40 cm + Wood sky textile parafine Year: 1996 Starting price: 500€ The man with the talking ass, The devil never shits in the same place. Oke. The story about the man with the talking ass is about a man who start to fart quite well. One day he even managed to say; halloo. He became better and better and end up having conversations with his own ass. He arranged a special evening in a theatre to show the public his tricks and to urn some extra money. After a while his ass started to itch enormously, he took a small mirror to have a look and saw a small teeth coming up. Month later after several arguments, the ass took over all the power. The metamorphose was completed. The other story is about us; daily we manage to transform beautiful food into dark brown shit.
39.
Title: “WORK IN PROGRESS” Dimensions: 50 × 60 cm Year: 2005 Starting price: 150€ It’s an artist’s proof that is the seed of the series to come.
40.
Title: “AS A RESULT” Medium: Video Year: 2003 Starting price: 10€ It was a kind of casting for a another piece. And it had a practical aspect, the transition of a piano to another space.
41.
Title: “COR PERFORMING A SPLIT” Medium: Contact sheet, black/white, 24 × 30 cm Year: 1996 Starting price: 25€ On the contact sheet you see pictures of bouncer Cor performing a split in a club in the Red Light district. After taking these pictures I realised I never would like to take pictures or do performances with models or actors anymore. ‘Real people’ around me made the work complete and made me come close to what I was searching for: a blend of documentary and performance.
42.
Title: “FREEZE” Dimensions: Not too big Year: 2004 Starting price: 20€ When I made this picture I was in a period of figuring out the usefulness of photography,, somehow. I wanted to know if photography could serve as a satisfying end point for something that might as well have worked as a sculpture or installation. But in this picture I think I got ‘satisfying’ mixed up with ‘necessary’, and the conclusion subsequently seemed to be the more fragile the moment the more necessary the photo... And then it melted.
43.
Title: “FROM ME TO YOU” Medium: Paper collage, 40h × 60 cm Year: 2006 Starting price: 20€ This is a 3D collage made from a photocopy of a book cover photographed in a Malaysian mosque in Capetown S.A. The rest form of the paper have been glued to the paper by my son who wanted to participate. I sent in a second work because the starting price was so low.
44.
Title: “SKATING KIDS” Dimensions: 30 × 40 cm Year: 2005 Starting price: 23€ or 32€ This picture is from a project I did in the period of feeling rather compelled to take pictures of human being in motion, which is rather at total odds with my habitual photography: still lives of objects. At the end, the project turned into a double metamorphosis: the original attempt failed, and gave way to another kind of still-life picturing: skating kids frozen in motion on computer monitor. Tania: should you feel such a description too revealing and technical, here is a shorter, one-line version: I set out to take pictures of human figures in motions which I never do only to find myself at the end fixating the camera and my eyes onto a computer screen.
45.
Title: “TWO FACES” Dimensions: 250 × 120 cm Year: 2004 Starting price: 200€ Work was made 2004 my good friend from Japan NOBU he painted first layer, and one night we painted together again on the drunken mercy evening, and then I balanced the last finish and touch in pastel. Totally real, no intension what so ever. But this painting can be seen upside down as well, to look like having two faces. So the title is two faces.
46.
Title: “NATIVE AMERICAN SUPREMACY” Medium: DVD-PAL, colour, 00:16:06 Edition: 1/50 Year: 2006 Starting price: 150€ Since Big bang approximately 8 Billion years ago White Mans supremacy has dominated. Now the time has come for the Native American Indian. They have come to take back truth, reality, space and time. From this moment on there will be no fix point of reference. No perception of space and time. No nothing. Dealing with this reversal of all that once made sense, it is evident that being prescient is ineffable, only fantasy makes sense from now on. Despite the fact that “fantasy” no longer is a concept generating sense. The following 8 billion years will be in the name of the Native American Indian’s Supremacy who will rule and do whatever they feel necessary with concepts, ideas, imagination, thoughts and everything the white man believe in. Be prepared to give up your perception of truth, space and time and everything you believed made sense. Holding on to these concepts after the Native American Indians have taken the lead will only bring sorrow, illness, contradiction, depression and hypocrisy and at the same time it will not be possible to understand because we have no understanding of these terms.
47.
Title: “FLAG-ADVENTURE” Medium: Box, 19 × 26 × 5 cm Year: 2005 Starting price: 10€ I submit 1 box filled with 1 selfmade booklet. The book tells the tail of the ‘FLAG-ADVENTURE’. The Flag-adventure took place in 2005 at the Landjuweel Festival in Ruigoord. The box is covered with a peace of the flag which stood for the body. The dimentions of the box are: 19 x 26 x 5 cm It is one of five boxes I made in total. The book embraces two realities given vorm in collored foto’s and black and white foto’s combined with sketching made by my partner Rein. I send you two foto’s of the Happening itself. One is showing the start of the building and one of the actions taking place. Please chose the one you like best. I would like to start with a biddingprice of 10 €. This work is for two reasons transitional. It was my first ‘selfmade’ Happening for a festival and it was my first project I innitiated, gave form, througlived with compagnions and finished with a visual product. It was a verry pure love-seed I planted with greate plasure and dear compagnionship. May it grow and flower according its own essence. I will follow the scent of this seed vigorously.
48.
Title: “PASSENGERS NO 09” Dimensions: 32 × 32 cm Year: 1992 Starting price: 10€ This image is from a series made in Portugal on my first trip with the Rietveld Academie. It was a great trip, I managed to stand for 8 days at the ferry waiting for people getting off the boat.
49.
Title: “CENTER OF MASS” Medium: Photo × 2 Year: 2005 Starting price: 12€ Work consist of 2 pictures, sold together as the same lot. Both of these pictures were part of very tightly set-up, planned-out series that at a certain point could not loose their stubbornness.
50.
Title: “FROM ME TO YOU” Medium: Silkscreen print on canvas, 60 × 70 cm Year: 2006 Starting price: 100€ This picture is a print of a silkscreen that was harboring different text and patterns meant for different purposes. I never intended to put these images together as a whole. Parts of text got marked out by wear and tear after the intense use of the screen. After having the screen in my studio for some time I decided to make a print.
51.
Title: “CHRIS FROM THE STREET” Medium: Photo mounted on plexiglas, 70 × 70 cm Starting price: 20€ I live near a studio complex full of artists and every now and then they throw out messed up artwork onto the pavement for the city to pick up. When I stumble into these piles of rejects, I sometime peruse the contents for any lost masterpieces to include in my ‘found art’ collection. I came across this photo of a boy laying in bed a few years back which had one corner cracked off it. I really didn’t like it at first, but somehow it reminded me of my late brother who died when he was quite young. So I kept it. I decided that I preferred to show this photo with the wrong orientation high up on the wall, sort of looking down on you. The corner I sliced off to get rid of the ugly bit, which reminded me of snipped LP jackets in the ‘cut-out’ bin which some record shops used to have (so you couldn’t re-sell the super cheap records). I came up with the name Chris out of the blue, like naming a pet. -Chris isn’t the name of my brother by the way. I’m not sure of the name of the original artist, though he went to a prominent art academy in Amsterdam. A friend of mine went to school with him I think, so I could probably track him down. But then, does that matter.
52.
Title: “TEAMWORK” Medium: 8 people, 4 back and front bicycle lights Year: 2006 Starting price: 30€ In this image electromagnetic energy is transforming in to text. The word was given as an assignment, where involving other people to write each letter became an experiment to emphasize the transitional possibilities of the technique.
53.
Title: “APPLEHILLS” Medium: Tiled laser print reinforced with gaffa tape, 110 × 130 cm Year: 2005 Starting price: 30€ Part of the series “The Factory”. It’s a representation of green hills, inspired by the Swiss landscape that I miss so much. It is part of my endexam work. The reason that it is a dead darling is that it is actually too small in the context of all the other prints, so I made a bigger version to exhibit in the end exam...
54.
Title: “POSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE” Medium: Mirror, ashes of burned book, 20 × 28 cm and 8 cm deep Year: 24-06-2006 Starting price: 30€ Dear dead darlings. The title of the work, I haven’t found yet. I hope I will have it the moment before I finish this email. The dimensions (approximately) of the work are 20 × 28 cm and 8 cm deep. Made on 24-06-2006. When asked for an art piece for the auction, I went through my photos and drawings. I found that I am very connected with most of them and wouldn’t like to give them away. So I decided to create a new work . I thought that that would be more fun. I found a book that I wanted to give away (it’s not relevant to know the author) and give it a new life. Transformation. So my starting point is this book, a book that won’t be easy to open, it could even be impossible. I just found the title: “Possible impossible”
55.
Title: “HORSEBACKS” Medium: Photo, B/W, 24 × 30.5 cm Year: 1994 Starting price: 50€ At first sight this work looks completely different for what I usually do. Through the years I completely banned all the ingredients I used in this photo. Surprisingly (or not of course!) you can still sense the same mentality in my recent works.
56.
Title: “CATS” Dimensions: 60 × 40 cm Year: 2006 Starting price: 100€ Metamorphosis: I am always interested in how scientists reconstruct mummies, dinosaurs, buildings or entire cities from a single bone or stone they dogged up. If you see how much you loose by destroying something and immediately reconstructing it , you might wonder about how much they are actually right if there is more then 4000 years in between. I wonder.
57.
Title: “DEAD SET” Medium: Lamda print in Dutch frame Year: 2003 Starting price: 50€ “DEAD SET” (video/photos, 2003) shows the recording of the Belgian Shepherd Turbo, a police-attack-dog. The dog has worn a tiny head-camera while exercising with the Brussels Federal
police. The video shows the simulation-attack-game between the two police men; the handler of the dog, and the policeman acting as victim/criminal. In the interaction between the two men and the dog, the video shows a way of provoking and agitating aggression in someone or something, with the purpose of turning this aggression towards a third party, an enemy. In a way it remarks the militant or authoritarian system of aggression, for all kinds of war. The installation contained one video-projection and three photos; two portraits of the Brussels Federal police-men, and a self-portrait of the artist with the video equipment the dog was using capturing the video.
58.
Title: “PRIVATE CONCERT” Medium: Music/intimacy Year: 2006 Starting price: 25€ Description of the work: Come with me to the other side.
