Transmediale.07 jury statement:
"The work 'Proof of Life' by Herman Asselberghs is testament to the power of art to bring its
audience into the present. Its layering of meaning and the interplay between different times and
spaces, mirrors current multiple realities saturated in images of terror, the viewer is impotent
and in a perpetual state of emergency. 'Proof of Life' is an artwork which first and foremost
speaks to a universal and splintered human condition through both the description and metaphor of
incarceration. Consistent with a long history of text based interventions, Asselberghs plays with
a space denoting an, 'absence of presence and presence of absence' with strong resonances, reminiscent
of the film essay by Alain Resnais, 'Night and Fog'.
Sitting between audio performance and site
specific installation, this work demonstrates the power of the text. Contemporaneous in form and
content, referencing and further propagating mediated witness and solace, 'Proof of Life' invites
us into a space in order to question the degree of our own comfort and the abstraction of the world
around us."
