Etcetera: Charlotte De Somviele

'The theater and photography seem to be opposites. They embody a tension between life and death, stillness and movement, past and present. In 11 seconds, however, Charlotte Bouckaert closes the gap by extracting a performance from one snapshot. It's a nice gesture: at a time when everyone is so compulsive about recording everything, Bouckaert tries to free the image from the clutches of representation, to trace it back to a material experience.'

'You have to hand it to Bouckaert: she makes the audience look at that one image with attention for an hour, and she raises a lot of questions'

Theater newspaper: Tuur Devens

'A photo stops time. Charlotte Bouckaert gives the photo back time in her performance. 11 seconds have become a fascinating search ritual for different ways of looking and experiencing.

Charlotte Bouckaert stretches the viewing time for one photo to fifty minutes. She entertains us with tidbits, she analyses details, asks art questions, seeks answers from artists and philosophers, projects translations of English quotes, from Bob Dylan over Gerhard Richter to dialogue fragments from films by Woody Allen. Very intriguing.'
