Welcome to the family (2025)
Full HD video, silent, 20min, loop.

In this film, two families are seen in a domestic, festive setting. They are waiting together for the bride and groom to arrive for the wedding celebration. Through slow gestures and glances between the characters, underlying relationships and tensions become perceptible. Each scene suggests impressions and emotions without prior context or explicit actions. Due to the video structure of the loop, the characters remain in a state of endless anticipation—for the couple to never arrive, and for the celebration to never truly begin. ‘Welcome to the Family’ (2025) explores the complexity of two different families coming together, reflecting on familial rituals, expectations, and the symbolic weight of the traditional, Flemish wedding celebration.
