Boy Bastiaens
from the vault 
studio archives
Though looking back is a little bit like gazing into the wrong end of the telescope, it gives a slightly broader scope when you've seen the view from both perspectives. From the vault is the name of a very, very small compilation of 'pre-computer' achievements made in the first decade. A playful access to the studio archive of Boy Bastiaens. Focussed on hand-made images. Like the design of the Kinsjasa man, which was cut out of black board. A piece of handicraft, made together with his (at that time) 4 years old daughter.
