Chasing Splinters

One person in a landscape composed of a thousand little wooden blocks. Where is the line between ambition and absurdity? Chasing Splinters is a tragicomic representation of man and the absurdity of his existence, driven by the endless pursuit of more. Meet Wout, who navigates through the trivial obligations of life while continuing to build his magnum opus. The increasing number of setbacks challenges his perseverance, and the question “what drives him” rings louder and louder.

Wout Vanroose is a circus artist, musician, and engineer from Leuven. He combines all these disciplines in a unique manner during the creative process. The result exudes circus, even though there is not much use of classical circus techniques.
