A principle is a supposed fundamental truth, rule or belief — something that could possibly prompt a chain of reasoning, or govern one’s behaviour. In Principles Lennert Lefever and Jacob Lambrecht, in dialogue with Maartje Claes, comb through personal props and vanishing points, staging a dialogue between a painter and a mouse. The painter’s principles imitate the language of commandments, axioms or scientific laws, revealing how flimsy, theatrical and imaginative our systems of truth can be. The mouse sets the camera, turns around and exits the scene. The situation that grows between the two of them contains proposals for how a world might be understood. A sliver of pop meets moving images. See: you hear a familiar melody, slightly mystical, then that boomerang-like return, an antimonument, an apple? For both the painter and the mouse, attention requires a stepping back from the self. Jacob Lambrecht, Lennert Lefever and Maartje Claes want to engage with the world as they find it; taking all the material mess of the present seriously.
