mostly it's a summary of a communication (live chat, email, phonecall...) through which i tried to find answers on questions or to let the artist explain the idea behind an image

the documentary series ‘unsettled’ focuses in a metaphoric way on the idea of ‘progress’
in a case where living environment has to disappear
because of industrial purposes
within this ongoing project this international case is illustrated
by focusing on the belgian village doel,
which is threatened by vast expansions of the port of antwerp
”unsettled” alternates portraits of young inhabitants with landscapes
that bare witness to the dejected state of the town
it rises the question of the purposefulness of growth, development and progression
