Bio

Boutique Vizique is the combination of Hendrik Leper and Stijn Schiffeleers, but in almost all our projects many more people are involved.

In 1994, we met at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent Belgium, where we both studied photography. Almost six years later - in the summer of 2000 - similar interests brought us back together, and resulted in a collective named Boutique Vizique.
Working mostly with video in the first few years, we collaborated with a great number of sound artists in a wide variety of projects. As it turned out, this collaborative aspect became less important at the moment we geographically parted. Our woolgathering however survived and focussing more on our own personal ways of expression, it engendered a series of affable interactive installations.
