2002 - LIVING APART TOGETHER

Ensemble

'a symbolic parody of fundamental loneliness' (Nicole van Goethem)

L.A.T. (Living Apart Together) was completed two years after her death by her permanent employees, led by Rudi Renson, her partner. She had already finished the screenplay and storyboard in 1990, but financial problems had delayed the animation. In L.A.T. a blind painter has a lat relationship with a blind woman who also often cleans his house and an affair with a deaf model. The film shows that people are blind and deaf to emotions. The dialogues in flat Antwerp were narrated by An Nelissen and Manou Kersting.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
