A multi-media installation for very large spaces about (in) direct communication.
‘Everyone has a specific place in the imagination of the other.’— Luigi Pirandello in Uno Nessuno Centomilla
There is no beginning, no end, there are no actors, there is no fixed text and no fixed script. There is... no performance.
All
The People I Didn’t Meet is a web of images and sound in a foggy
obscured hall. Chairs, sofas and tables are scattered around as small
light beacons in the dark.
Words are projected on a
monitor: ‘To the person who is reading this...’ it says. Is there a
visitor writing another? Does the other person see me? On the monitor a
face appears. Who is really in this space?
An installation about (imaginary) meetings.

The beauty of this work is that its not a 'closed' performance or
installation. It is a real place to create. By the interaction of each
visitor the work magnifies, changes, develops, during the whole time the
installation is accesible'
L’ALTRO (Italy) 21-07-2009 Katia Ippaso ' First of all I think about the word 'Lynchian' when
I think about Judith Nab. Often we use David Lynch when we want to speak
about mysterie, about double meanings, about fear in the red rooms of
our subconscious. This room which is full of figures (the visitors in
this installation) who meet each other in the dusk. But this
space is not 'Lynchian'. No, it is Nabian, just like Judith NAB. And
here..we look like..ourselves'

'All The People has no story and no plot and suddenly overwhelmes you
completely (...) A bit like the writer Herman De Coninck writes in his
poem The Place: “To reach that place, you do not only have to leave the
house, but also leave ‘ways of looking’. There is nothing, and that’s
what you should see”.
De Standaard (Belgium) 07/30/2008:
‘We are surrounded by chains and tubes and cables, which are carrying
voices, trying to pierce in our lives’, this is one of the phrases
that one can read on the chat. It is so true that it takes me like an
intensive realisation, while visiting this theatrical installation. Mark Kloostermans
