Meeting point: Bus station Markt Westkapelle
On Sunday January 29, Paul Hendrikse took the participants on the road to Westkapelle for the first SYDGL of the new year. In his practice Hendrikse explores the communalities between history, biography and fiction. His projects often make use of performative elements, which Hendrikse employs to create a situational context in which ephemeral impressions, absence, movement, gestures and memories are reactivated. They derive from a fascination for historical persons and the traces they leave in our public life. Through a gap in space and time the participants met up with Charlie, Bas Jan, Piet & Eva and a performative gesture enabled Hendrikse to start a dialogue with these artists who resided and made work in Westkapelle.
