SANDRINE VERSTRAETE – JEAN D.L. (BE)

Twelve years after her debut r mp, Sandrine Verstraete returns to poetry. Kamers — published by het balanseer — is a quest for new forms. In evocative and sensory language, the text probes the possibilities of words and bodies, reflecting on how we construct ourselves as individuals.

For her performance at Dropa House, she recites texts from kamers alongside guitarist Jean D.L., in whose musical universe guitar, chance, and field recordings evoke echoes of cinematic landscapes—imaginative and hazy soundscapes where the crackle of black-and-white film stock meets the camera movements of Stan Brakhage.
