From the bottom of their jargon they cannot hide their common concern of how to deal with reality.

We were guided by the classic alchemical steps, present in every creative process: 1. pulverise, 2.dissolve, 3.distill, 4.glow out, 5.sediment. We showed the installations in the Jenever Museum in Hasselt as part of the \u0026ldquo;Super!\u0026rdquo; event. The invention and production of jenever haits roots in the old alchemist tradition.\u0026quot; \u0026nbsp;\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u0026minus; AMVK\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr /\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eConcept and drawings: AMVK\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eInteractivity and postproduction: Christophe Engels\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eProducer: Stad Hasselt/Club Moral\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eConcept and drawings: AMVK\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eInteractivity and postproduction: Christophe Engels\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eProducer: Stad Hasselt/Club Moral\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":1472,"name":"Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven / AMVK","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
