All The People I Didn’t Meet
A NON STOP MULTI MEDIA INSTALLATION ABOUT INDIRECT COMMUNICATION AND IMAGINARY MEETINGS
2008-2009-2010


All The People I Didn't Meet



There is no beginning and no end. There are no actors and there is no fixed script. There is no performance.

All The People I Didn't Meet is a web of images and sound, in a misty hall. Chairs, sofas and tables are scattered around like small beacons of light in the dark. Words are projected on a monitor: "To the person who is reading this..." Is one of the visitors writing to another? Does the other person see me? On the monitor a face appears. Who is really present in this space?

Or as Luigi Pirandello says 'Everyone has a specific place in the imagination of the other':

REVIEW
"The uncomfortable feeling I had in the beginning quickly makes place for curiosity and transforms in a fascinating play that is multi-medial and still of all times. The disorientation creates euphoria and a hunger to surrender yourself to the unknown, just like children can do"

REVIEWS
Dramma (Italy) 07-2009 Maria Dolores Pesce "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 accessible'"  

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'"

Knack (Belgium) 29-07-2008 Jan de Smet:
"'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) Mark Kloostermans 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.
