Following a series of encounters with ‘ACM’, homeless person in Brussels, Els Dietvorst wrote the monologue Ik ga naar mijn kippen three years ago. The text is a sequel to the documentary-trilogy that she made about the life of this philosopher-drifter and his struggle for a dignified life. When Dietvorst was working on one of her Skull sculptures for the Moscow Biennale, her brother lay dying. This experience led her to write another monologue: Drijfhout.
