“Like a funfair, I travel from place to place with my provisional works. The traveling between the different locations and the proces of dismantling is a ritual component of a larger narrative.I consider every new location as a phase where I discover new materials, make installations and performances with a film as a final project. In the film, I emphasize the narrative that underlies the stage and the work. The final film starts to play an increasingly emphatic role in my practice, so I see my work as scenes: installations made up of scenery, protagonists and props, where an action takes place in a period of time.” - Wessel Verrjit
