ERKI DE VRIES

"Erki De Vries got his Master in Spatial Arts at the Karel De Grote Hogeschool in Antwerp, after which he took a postgraduate in Visual arts in Breda, the Netherlands. In 2003 he was admitted into the HISK (Higher Institute for Fine Arts) in Antwerp. His videos are poetical explorations of the stratification of a specific environment. By making alterations in the spatial conditions he tries to interact with the location, an experience resulting in a reconsideration of this space, as well as our relationship to it. His work was presented at the International Short Film e) Video Festival in Xiamen, China and the European media art festival, Osnabrück, Germany." (argos festival 2005 catalogue)
