Lou Lasvenes

Publication (2019)

15x22,8cm, digital print.
In indirect collaboration with everyone that I met from August 2016 to June 2019. Mentored by Bart de Baets.

’Teachers, Parents, Friends, and Fellow Members of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie’ is an extended contemplation on the tradition of public speeches stretching and appropriating the format of the Valedictorian graduation speech.

Classified by order of appearance, this publication traces every person, place, object, and entity (such as seasons and movies) that I encountered since arriving in Amsterdam to study in August 2016, up until my graduation ceremony in June 2019.

With radical honesty, the publication is an examination of how these encounters—whether or not they resulted in a positive outcome—had an undeniable effect on the person I was at the time of was graduating.

And last but not least… I want to thank me, for believing in me. I want to thank me for doing all this hard work. I wanna thank me for never quitting. I want to thank me for always being a giver and trying to give more than I receive. I wanna thank me for being me at all times.

— Snoop Dogg (2018) Hollywood Walk of Fame speech

(430) The Big Bang, I want to thank you, because without you, none of this would have been possible.
