My client simply couldn't contain himself

About

Silke Debandt is a visual artist and costume designer, based in Antwerp. With textile, video and text as the main mediums, Silke tries to address injustice and political issues in a playful and emotional way.

Project

My client simply couldn't contain himself. This work addresses the impunity of sexual violence in Belgium. Prints taken from original court documents are adapted by embroidery, felting and writing. Art is a form of self-expression to me and therefore I want to make my voice heard through my work and explore how art can be a medium to address political issues.
