'Het documenteren van het werk van Louise Lawler kan worden gezien als een mise en abîme. Lawler staat bekend om het fotograferen van werken van andere kunstenaars die worden tentoongesteld in musea, opslagruimten, veilinghuizen en huizen van verzamelaars. Mijn werk als fotograaf richt zich op het documenteren van kunst voor kunstenaars, musea, galeries en verzamelaars. Toen Cc Strombeek Expo me vroeg om de installatie van het werk in de Plantentuin van Meise te fotograferen, dacht ik meteen aan het maken van een film, die de voorstelling van het werk in zijn omgeving bevraagt. Met de insteek van een ornitholoog speurt de toeschouwer de tuin af naar waar de vogelgeluiden vandaan zouden kunnen komen. De film geeft de ervaring weer van de toeschouwer die op zoek is naar mogelijke vogels die in de wijde lucht over de bomen vliegen, verborgen in het gebladerte van de bomen of misschien nestelen in het kreupelhout onder de bomen en langs de vijver... Het is een koude en regenachtige winterdag. Er zijn bijna geen vogels te spotten.'

La documentation de l'œuvre de Louise Lawler peut être considérée comme une mise en abîme. Lawler est bien connue pour avoir pris des photos d'œuvres d'autres artistes exposées dans des musées, des entrepôts, des salles de vente et chez des collectionneurs. Mon travail de photographe consiste à documenter l'art pour les artistes, les musées, les galeries et les collectionneurs. Lorsque Cc Strombeek Expo m'a demandé de photographier l'installation de l'œuvre dans le Jardin botanique de Meise, j'ai tout de suite pensé à faire un film, questionnant la représentation de l'œuvre dans son environnement. Avec l'approche d'un ornithologue, le spectateur cherche dans le jardin d'où pourraient provenir les bruits d'oiseaux. Le film restitue l'expérience du spectateur qui cherche d'éventuels oiseaux volant au-dessus des arbres dans le grand air, cachés dans le feuillage des arbres ou peut-être nichés dans les sous-bois sous les arbres et le long de l'étang... C'est une journée d'hiver froide et pluvieuse. Il n'y a presque pas d'oiseaux à repérer.

Documenting the work by Louise Lawler can be seen as a mise en abîme. Lawler is well known for taking pictures of other artists’ works displayed in museums, storage spaces, auction houses, and collector’s homes. My work as a photographer focuses on documenting art for artists, museums, galleries and collectors. When Cc Strombeek Expo asked me to photograph the installation of the work in the Botanic Garden of Meise, I instantly thought of making a film, questioning the representation of the work in its environment. With the approach of an ornithologist the spectator searches the garden for where the bird sounds might come from. The film renders the experience of the spectator who is looking for possible birds flying over the trees in the wide air, hidden in the foliage of the trees or perhaps nesting in the undergrowth under the trees and along the pond... It's a cold and rainy winter’s day. There are almost no birds to be spotted.
