Estelle Boelsma

Sadly Estelle's film didn't make it here in time for the Brussels edition, but it is very much here in Ghent:

5.11







“Boredom is the desire for desire.” Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

My focus is perceived reality, in all its repetitive banality; it is a question of magnifying apparently pointless actions; what is normally concealed in activity is accentuated. The moment is stretched out almost into infinity; one sees that “this is what there is.” The separate film fragments present scenes that only refer to themselves. They do not communicate. The story they tell is of a world where otherness is irrelevant.
