Biography
Marc Neys aka Swoon, born 1968, lives in Mechelen (Belgium). He has produced over 120 videpoems and collaborated with various writers in different languages.
His videopoems and Shorts were shown at international Festivals.
"Like all good art, the work of Swoon transports us to a state. It is a state of attention and reverie at the same time, where the artist shares with us his own intense experience of the
moment, and then sends us each on our own inner investigations.
“Longing,” as Heidegger defines it, “is the agony of the nearness of the distant”. Something of this delicious torment informs the dense visual and sonic tapestries found in these videos.
In his miniatures paintings and films, Marc Neys piles layer upon layer of information and sensation, echoing memory’s dizzy playground, alongside snatches of half-forgotten dreams, or lives." (Yahia Lababidi)
