For “The curtains are drawn but the clouds are still there (A letter to BJ and myself)” i investigate my own running away in relation to that of Bas Jan Ader. Becoming alienated by the ongoing recognitions of a small town life i decide to leave my home and move in to a small campervan together with my partner. For this project i documented the first few months of this change, paired with diary entries concerning the feelings that came up during this change. These writings were transformed into a letter addressed to Bas Jan Ader and to myself, concerning the privilege of running away, the guilt of travel, the haunting of memories.
