Sunken Red is a lamentation for a deceased mother and a recollection of the Japanese prison camps of the Second World War, based on the<br />
novel Bezonken rood by the Dutch author Jeroen Brouwers. Guy Cassiers: “In Sunken Red I shape the inner world of a tormented writer traumatized<br />
by his ex<strong>per</strong>iences in a Japanese concentration camp, where he, as a ch<strong>il</strong>d, was imprisoned with his mother. I examine how a highly<br />
<strong>per</strong>sonal and w<strong>il</strong>ful universe develops from that ex<strong>per</strong>ience. The writer is saying good-bye to his mother, but the story could also be viewed as<br />
his way of coming to terms with her; however, it is done in a way that is both deeply moving and an homage to her. It was not my intention to<br />
show a writer behind his desk on a stage. The setting is a sort of dark room, bathed in red light, where images from the past are displayed. The<br />
images come out of the dark, the ‘non-light’. It is a metaphor for the work of the writer and the artist in general. In the novel, the man looks at<br />
himself and his reflection looks back. The five cameras observing the man from every angle depict theatrically what the words do in the book:<br />
as a result of ruthless self-analysis a self-portrait emerges of someone who is falling apart. The viewer enters into his intimate world through<br />
cameras equipped with telephoto lenses. Sound techniques make it possible to hear even a whis<strong>per</strong> from actor Dirk Roofthooft. Technology<br />
enables me to create greater subtlety and intimacy.”<br />
