I like to touch everything

2006 · 52 min

Visual artist Auke de Vries rarely allows visitors into the small studio where he works every day. In this intimate space he surrounds himself with dozens of models made from pieces of wire, cardboard and foil. These fragile and curious creations inhabit Auke’s world and feed his inspiration. In his studio he talks about his childhood, his development as an artist and his plans for new sculptures. Auke keeps in touch with his sculptures. He takes us to his large works in Berlin, Rotterdam and Hanover. But he always returns to his attic, to his companions, the inhabitants of his imaginative world.
