'a symbolic parody of fundamental loneliness' (Nicole van Goethem)
L.A.T. (Living Apart Together) was completed two years after her death by her permanent employees, led by Rudi Renson, her partner. She had already finished the screenplay and storyboard in 1990, but financial problems had delayed the animation. In L.A.T. a blind painter has a lat relationship with a blind woman who also often cleans his house and an affair with a deaf model. The film shows that people are blind and deaf to emotions. The dialogues in flat Antwerp were narrated by An Nelissen and Manou Kersting.
