Inspired by the physical impact of film aesthetics,<br />
Wim Catrysse is strongly drawn towards<br />
cinematography. In his films Catrysse investigates<br />
the way the body relates to its environment.<br />
In his video installations, he examines image<br />
configurations, seeking to translate them into<br />
cinematographic structures. For this he draws upon architectural and<br />
topographical structures. The works take their departure in simple deeds or<br />
actions in self-build or altered small-scale environments. Catrysse involves us<br />
in the intimate making-off of the staging of the scene. Besides the actors and<br />
the spectators, the camera should be considered as a third participant to the<br />
event. It is involved in the scene in a constructive manner. ‘By this means our<br />
understanding of both the mechanism and the resulting image-pattern is made<br />
part of a synoptic apprehension of something approaching a ‘totality’.’<br />
