Tonight we present two of van der Keuken's beautiful, moving portraits in which he continues to explore intersections between moving and still images, life and death, absence and presence. The artist describes both films:"In my early years as a filmmaker, I was greatly influenced by the Dutch poet and painter Lucebert....Lucebert, Time and Farewell is made up of three short films. I made Lucebert, Poet-Painter in 1962 (and) went on to make A Film for Lucebert in 1966....It is a film for an artist about the world. When we visited Lucebert...the idea was born to make a third film. But in May Lucebert died and my reaction to his death is incorporated in If You Know Where I Am, Try and Find Me (1994). The film, the title of which is taken from one of the poems he left, is shot entirely in Lucebert's studio...a space that has become frozen...but also a space where his soul still breathes..."

Eight days before her death, my wife Noshka and I had a long conversation with her that I filmed with a digital video camera. Two days before she died, I recorded another, shorter, talk with her. I had asked Yoka, with some trepidation, if I could possibly film her, but the film turned out to be her last 'project'; one that was very important to her....The talks were about the purpose of life...and about leaving something behind, transmitting experience and insight, which was perhaps the most important thing to her."
