Specialist note

'[I] make visuals that are muted: they don't speak. Or, let's say they don't speak back. I think the fear of this dehumanized positioning of the image, which is immobilized and in that way virtually stunned, elicits an interest in what the signifier would be'
(L. Tuymans, "Transcript of the John Tusa Interview," BBC, https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3).
