Archiving it.\n<p>In this same period I investigate images of migrants past and present, which makes me feel confronted again with the memory of my own childhood, in which I missed a fixed place, was ever on the move, back and forth.<\/p>\n<p>Something clicks and I decide to make a video of my drawing, the film fragments of the light-blot, add text and sound, allowing these elements to enter into a dialogue.\u00a0I give the drawing a guiding role. In all my drawings, one from countless moments is examined and fixed. In this video, the drawing also has this role. As a resting point. But the drawing also actively participates in the continuous stream of film images and text, and thus has its own say. For the text I draw on my own experience and captions for photos of migrants on there way, for the sound I make recordings of birds on the road.<\/p>\n<p>The result is an interweaving of personal history, chance and ever-persistent movement.<\/p>\n\t<style>\n    .videotje { text-align: center; }\n    .btn-row {\n                text-align: center;\n                padding: 20px;\n            }\n                .video-button {\n                    display: inline-block;\n                    text-align: center;\n                    padding: 10px 20px;\n                    border-radius: 50px;\n                    border: none;\n                    color: #000;\n                    text-decoration: none;\n                    background: #d3c900;\n                }\n                    .video-button:hover {\n                        cursor: pointer;\n                        background: #747474;\n                        color:#ffffff;\n                    }\n<\/style>\n\t<video loop id=\"video\">\n            \t\t<source src=\"https:\/\/www.ikesmitskamp.nl\/ike\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ao-720p-640-360-1.mp4#t=0.001\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\/>\n\t<\/video>\n\t<button type=\"button\" id=\"play-pause\" aria-label=\"Play\">Play<\/button>\n\tAnd of course, I couldn&#8217;t make this video on my own.
