back
Video-movie (U-matic), color, sound, 50min. (scenario, camera, directing, editing - together with Koen Theys)

‘Song of my Soil is one of the most intriguing projects undertaken in de field of video. It is a plastic chromakey symphony that participates in Wagner’s musical chromatic totality: continuous melodies in which leitmotivs function as the musical materialization of ideas. Such interplay of forces from image and sound associations is the idealsource of inspiration for the Theys brothers to start up a gigantic allegoric parable of our times (and the media as its primary expression).”

(Paul Willemsen, De Andere Sinema July-August 1989)
