In residence: Karel Tuytschaever

What does the way someone else is depicted say about the maker? Karel Tuytschaever investigates how the body of the maker influences the visual representation of others. As a theatre and filmmaker, he searches for ways to honestly capture bodies in 2D, using his own body and lens-based media. In his teaching, he emphasizes the importance of bodily awareness for makers, which helps in the development of vision and skills. Tuytschaever aims to promote a more embodied, sensory artistic practice that strengthens engagement and empathy in a digital world.
