"Symbolism is the bridge between nineteenth-century Romanticism and twentieth-century Modernism. Work on this film began in the summer of 2004 in Antwerp. There I filmed the Symbolist, personified by painter and fortune teller Mauro Pawlowski. In December that year I filmed body artist Danny Devos, as a personification of Modrnism, in the Paris flat of the curator and editor Guy Schranen. There is also additional footage from Berlin, Xiamen (China) and Vladivostok (Russia). The 16-year-old artist Raphaëlle Jamet completed the picture with her sparkle of young enthusiasm. My presence in the city of Berlin, during my one-year residency at DAAD, turned out to be decisive for this film."
