Director Statement

This piece was filmed in Antwerp, Belgium in collaboration Tars Vandebeek and Mathias Goethals of Compagnie Pilolabo.

In Dutch, "rust" means "rest." This piece asks that we view our movement through time not as decay, but as evolution. Rest in the inevitability of the process and embrace it's beauty in moments.
