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 />

(Jon Thompson).<br />
