BEATRICE (Joris Mertens)
On her way to work 'Galeries La Brouette' (wheelbarrow??) Beatrice notices a bright red bag, which seems to be waiting for her. She can't leave it alone, can she? It turns out that it contains a photo album from the late 1920s. So almost 100 years ago. Beatrice would like to return to those turbulent times. But is that such a good idea? Because wasn't happiness always there? But she doesn't see that. The red color of Beatrice has nothing to do with the movie Schindler's List (1993). Red is just a warm color that suits Beatrice very well. The drawings provide the text. Joris Mertens (Bleekwater) draws with many scribbles, scribbles and scratches to arrive at a whole that turns every print into an ex-libris. We are spoiled with drawings with endless details. Clearly a movie buff is at work here! Camera angles are taken. This is cinema in the comic. Note the 'outside image': the invisible space that is outside the image and that we think about. This is referred to as 'assembly'. Mertens determines the sequence of the images like a director. With every new lecture we discover new elements. Should we take that red bag?
