For more than 10 years, she has been continuously working on different aspects of simple country life in a genre called “slow documentary”. Her stories retell the passing of time, transmissions and changes through generations, mixing different types of images and materials. It questions the sense of destiny and the notion of landhood, using the surroundings of small family farm as a story frame and main setting. Portraits, objects, still lives shot in natural light remind us of a long-running tradition of Dutch painting.
