Other Projects

‘Remake Oneself’ (2003)
A video-installation in which Carolien depicted herself as a gorilla living in the forest. In the video, which is in fact more of a nature documentary, she sits in a tree, not doing anything more than sitting, looking and chewing on the leaves of the tree.   The video explores the borderline between real and fake, nature and culture, human and animal. Shown at the ITs Festival, Amsterdam.
