Jan Ketelaars

A live-action animation comprised of brief images (single-frame shots) and dual images about a naked man in a black space. We become extremely aware of his physicality, while the film also carries out an attack on our physical abilities.

A man is attacked by all kinds of images from his past.

Images of a woman in evening clothes. She caresses and touches her body and looks at herself in the mirror.

A man and a woman in a desolate landscape; the camera interrupts their walks until they meet. Then a game of attraction and repulsion sets in; filmed in the typical nervous theatrical style that characterizes the early work of Ketelaars.

Takes the viewer through the periphery of Amsterdam and shows the unadorned appearance of the city.

In the form of a triptych, three places in three different regions of the Netherlands are associated with each other. In their appearance and the way they are used these newly designed and built environments reflect the efforts of people in contemporary culture. The three selected places include the known spectrum of living, working, relaxing. Each site has an extreme, monomaniac character by a one-sided focus on one of these specific activities. This brings a kind of absurdity to light and a downside of the endeavor.

A model is photographed, but the film camera also comes close to her skin.
