‘‘We met George by accident and sought for radical elements hidden in the daily life of a common place.’’

During 6 months, we tried to capture George’s intimate connection with his land, domestic space and animals. We experimented and played with several research methods such as in-depth interview, object-space-elicitation, video editing, mapping as well as cooking breakfast and butchering a duck, witnessing George’s peculiar knowledge and habits.

I worked on the whole research process alongside meeting George and interacting with him. For the realisation of the book, I was in charge of the layout and the graphics with Ward Lauwers.
