✨ WHO'S PART OF OUR COMMUNITY ART WALL ✨
MEET NELE VANHEEL!
Transdisciplinary artist and director working across photography, film and performance. Her practice begins in reflection, but always moves toward connection: each project grows from a ton of research and lived experience, with the aim to create space for dialogue and a level of recognition for the unknowing bystander.
Due to a background in orthopedagogy, she is sensitive to emotional development, social structures and the often unseen ways people relate to one another. Her work explores how meaning can shift through time, with some pieces carrying a temporary or even ritual dimension before returning to where they once began.
Nele approaches an idea with clear intention, aiming to create moments of curiosity and wonder. She carefully considers how each vision can be translated so it remains approachable without losing depth.
The film showcased on our Community Art Wall, The Veil of Maya, is a poetic autobiographical short that invites viewers to slow down, feel deeply and reconnect with their authentic self. Created for the Congress on the Theory of Positive Disintegration, it mirrors the process of inner chaos and disintegration as a pathway toward growth, clarity and deeper meaning.
📍 Come check out her creation at BLUT! Art Gallery, Jan Persijnstraat 1, Kortrijk.
