This is a publication I made in my propaedeutic year on the Art Academy. It's about my neighbour who always was a chearfull person, full of energy and involved in lots of activites. Slowly, he became more quiet, and all of a sudden he didn't wave anymore if he was passing by, he wouldn't come out of the house anymore, wouldn't awnser the phone or anything. He fell into a depression. His partner didn;t inderstand him, nobody really did. Something, some idea or fear or whatever, krept into his mind. It's been 4 years, and only slowly he's improving. A depression has such a big impact on peoples lives. I tried to visualise the elusive feeling of a depression. The publication is called Hersenspinsels, or in English Phantasms.

The publication zooms out of a persons mind, making the person smaller and smaller. A transparent sheet contains a distortion that grows bigger and bigger.

Zooming into a troubled, dark mind. Indefinable thing floating around.
