Winnie Claessens has an eye for idealistic ideas and crazy projects where people get involved for a higher purpose.
Starting from an amazement for the beauty and absurdity of a project, Claessens sets herself up as a researcher. By means of meticulous observations, she imitates things as truthfully as possible and tries to understand the subject matter. This results in video work and models. Claessens is very interested in scenography and cinematographic techniques and loves a theatrical representation in which she dramatises her subject. Her love for manual and analogue solutions is striking. The creative process and the emphasis on the technique or construction play an important role for her.
