[ HI, I’M TIBBEY ]

I am a visual storyteller based in Utrecht with a focus on film. Whether working with analog or digital formats, I strive to tell compelling stories. My work is characterized by its distinctive use of sound, while the visual form remains abstract and experimental.

Currently, I am a student at HKU, studying Image & Media Technology. This program teaches me to be a storyteller who can integrate various techniques and disciplines, ranging from design and video to animation.

I enjoy a structured and organized workflow.
Additionally, I have a background in applied psychology, and I try to incorporate this knowledge into my art. I find human-related topics particularly interesting to explore in my work.

PARADOXAL (FR), PARADOXAAL (NL); IN STRIJD MET DE VERWACHTING




During the summer vacation of 2024, I spent three weeks alone in a maison in France. During this time, I minimized my phone usage, allowing myself to fully unwind. This experience deeply inspired me, drawing creativity from the surroundings where I stayed.

I carefully developed the concept and later filmed it together with a friend who came to visit. Paradoxale was shot using a digital camera from 2010.


RELAX.              
           
An experimental film in collaboration with Jeen Fabriek. A film set in a surreal environment, open to interpretation


KIJKEN IS BEKEKEN WORDEN








A short film that originated from using a specific quote as a starting point. “Kijken is bekeken worden”  is a quote  by writer and poet Gerrit Komrij.


ATTENDRE (FR), WACHTEN OP (NL)









The short film fragments of Attendre originated from having little time, quickly coming up with a concept, and making use of the environment you are in at that moment. Time played a crucial role in this project, which ultimately became the central theme of the video.


AWARE IN THE CITY

But ever since I moved back to Utrecht, that village-like feeling has quietly returned. It’s as if the city is always watching, silently. You’re never truly alone here, but rarely fully seen either.

That paradox; beTo me, Utrecht feels like a village disguised as a city. I grew up in a small town, where everyone knows and watches each other. That constant sense of being observed never quite left me. In larger cities, I find anonymity, the freedom to disappear into the crowd. That gives me room to breathe.

But ever since I moved back to Utrecht, that village-like feeling has quietly returned. It’s as if the city is always watching, silently. You’re never truly alone here, but rarely fully seen either.

That paradox; being watched, yet remaining anonymous, is at the heart of my project Aware in the City. ing watched, yet remaining anonymous,  is at the heart of my project Aware in the City.


LIFE LOOKS BETTER ON SUPER8

That paradox; beShot on a Super8 camera  - analog. ing watched, yet remaining anonymous,  is at the heart of my project Aware in the City.


ITWDW









With a team of five, we created a music video If the world doesn’t wait (ITWDW) for Jeroen Houben. We remixed the song and chose a drill theme as the foundation.
In this music video, we showcase two completely different generations coming together through music. It highlights how the older generation can still find a sense of connection and recognition with the younger generation.
