Viewed with a playful eye, everyday things such as a lot of sugar, smoke and the view undergo a metamorphosis and change into a glittering crystal mountain landscape where clouds pass by.

In the trilogy ‘Rain, Sugar, Eye’ thoughts are captured and made visible. Each film is made in one single shot; in which a total shot slowly changes into a close-up. The leading characters in ‘Rain’, ‘Sugar’ and ‘Eye’ are focusing on a detail. Literally seeing another world in this detail causes a fundamental change of their ideas about this reality. In ‘Eye' a man and a woman look each other so profoundly in the eyes that they experience the impossibility of a symbiosis.

The film ‘Play within a play’ is a triptych which visualizes the intense experience of intimate and ephemeral moments. Simple details appear as natural phenomena which engage the viewer and give an experience of the universal sensation of beauty.

A woman looks so profoundly through a raindrop that she experiences the impossibility of reality as a whole entity.
