Ethereal Rhythms, Everything rhymes (2024)
Belgian artist Brecht Vanhoutte presents a diary film, a "moment-work" that is a personal piece showcasing his wild fantasies, fears, and colorful, sometimes wild daydreams and visions through diary entries and modern techniques. As Vanhoutte grew older, he realized that his vivid imagination and daily fantasies were more than just youthful whims. During his final years at film school, he sought professional guidance to further develop these insights. This work captures this period through a POV perspective crafted from diary notes and brought to life with the help of AI. The rapid evolution of this technology captures and reflects on the present moment.

Belgian artist Brecht Vanhoutte closes his eyes and sees. Busy Brussels men in suits, dancing silhouettes, strange plants, visions of blurred and dreamlike aesthetics, unreal universes. Dealing with his mental health, he reveals his inner world with an experimental journey using AI and textures that evoke times gone by, pages of an undated personal diary written with cadences of digital flow where the real and the fantastic rhyme.
