From 2001–2005, she worked at the Museum of Contemporary Art (SMAK) in Ghent.
Her research focuses on artists and filmmakers exploring contrarian visual languages, challenging established ideas, and interrogating themes like artistic autonomy, representation, myth, and the interplay between word/image. Key areas include essay films, slow cinema, and modernist/contemporary painting. She examines media exchanges across film, architecture, literature, and performance.
Recent projects include studies on visual archaeology in urban neighborhoods and painting as emancipatory practice. Collaborations with filmmakers and artists emphasize textual integration into visual projects. Engagement includes roles in cultural institutions like Kunsthal Gent and Nucleo vzw’s artistic committee.
