Els Dietvorst, THE RABBIT AND THE TEASEL
“…a masterpiece”, Dirk Braeckman, De Morgen (May 2014)
“…a contemporary parabel!” Sam Steverlinck, Art magazine Kunsthart (May 2014)
The Evens Arts Prize, awarded every two years to a European artist, supports artistic initiatives that help us rethink contemporary European realities and envision new perspectives for shaping our common world.
Visual artist and filmmaker Els Dietvorst (°1964) graduated from Sint-Lukas Brussels University College of Art and Design with a master’s degree in Fine Arts. The focus of her work is communication, inter-human relations and social conflict. It deals with anti-utopian themes like the human condition and the outsider. Her work often takes the form of long-term projects in which she works directly with her surroundings and those living there.
“The Rabbit And the Teasel” is the first film of a triptych on human survival. Els Dietvorst is currently working on the second part, which tells the story of an Irish fishers community that suffers from European maritime agreements.
