BIRDS SINGING, SANDY GROUND, 2014, HD video 50'.

Hidden in the green area of Beetsterzwaag in Friesland is what looks like a typical residential neighbourhood: De Wissel. But this village is far from ordinary. Birds singing, sandy ground is a portrait of the daily life of the inhabitants of this Dutch health care institution, which strives to allow people with a mental health disability to lead independent lives. Through a series of associative combinations of landscapes and portraits an insight is given in this microcosm where the time seems to have stopped and where actions repeat itself until the absurd.
