A NON STOP MULTI MEDIA INSTALLATION ABOUT INDIRECT COMMUNICATION AND IMAGINARY MEETINGS
2008-2009-2010
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 Kloostermans07/30/2008:
"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.
