LI-MA Presents: New Art on Screen & Bring Your Own File
We are pleased to announce the upcoming edition of LI-MA Presents: New Art on Screen, part of LI-MA’s ongoing nationwide media art tour. In collaboration with Pop Up Cinema, this event will take place on February 22, 2025, at De Nieuwe Vorst in Tilburg, marking our first curatorial partnership with Pop Up Cinema. Together, we aim to present a thoughtfully curated programme of contemporary media art tackling urgent themes.
The event will feature screenings of new works, artist presentations, and discussions, providing insight into the creative processes and challenges of working with screen-based media.
Our Bring Your Own File showcase will also take place on the same day, bringing together selected works from our open call applicants, emphasising themes such as media and technology criticism, gender and identity, and sustainability.

315, Daniel Jacoby
2023, 14’48”. In collection: LI-MA
A sequence of family anecdotes and historical events coinciding with the artist's date of birth takes on a darker tone as he unearths what happened in his native Peru on that day in 1989. Through the lens of a vastly neglected anti-LGBT hate crime, a new narrative emerges from familiar memories.
Daniel Jacoby is a visual artist and filmmaker. His work often gravitates towards eccentric characters, places, and stories, which he approaches from inventive and tangential perspectives. Using abstraction as a recurring element, his practice explores themes such as outsiderness, belonging, loneliness, friendship, desire, and spirituality.
I Wan’na Be Like You, Broersen & Lukács,
2024, 14’22”. In collection: LI-MA
The viewer is drawn into a dilapidated glasshouse, a space where nature is traditionally tamed and studied. A ghostly figure dances to a variation of the iconic song from Disney’s The Jungle Book (1967). As the music fades, the vocal group Black Harmony reinterprets the song in their own language. I Wan’na Be Like You deconstructs and reconstructs the novel, film, song, and their cultural legacies.
Broersen & Lukács live and work in Amsterdam. The artist duo creates works across media—including video, animation, and graphics—that examine contemporary visual culture’s ornamental and constructed nature. Their video pieces, blending filmed footage, digital animation, and media imagery, explore the ways in which reality, mass media, and fiction are deeply intertwined.
Red Dust, Katja Verheul
2024, 17’9”. In collection: LI-MA
A few times a year, the sky in France turns red as sand from the Sahara is carried across Southern Europe by changes in air pressure. This dust, containing cesium-137 from French nuclear tests in Algeria, settles over everything—a time capsule of war's invisible consequences. Red Dust examines what is remembered and what is buried under the sands of time through the perspectives of a French veteran and archaeology students.
Katja Verheul is a filmmaker and artistic archaeologist based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. She holds a BFA in Audio-Visual Arts from Gerrit Rietveld Academie (2012) and an MFA in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths University (2016). Her films aim to visualise complex social, political, and economic issues through long-term research. Often exploring the remnants of war, her work investigates their impact on both people and nature.
No Horses on Mars, Bea de Visser
2024, 14’54”. In collection: LI-MA
In No Horses on Mars, the viewer experiences the journey of a horse—from a trailer ride on the highway to waking up in a veterinary clinic. Blurring the lines between documentary and fiction, the film shifts to the horse’s perspective, offering a poignant exploration of the relationship between humans and animals. The horse is measured, recorded, and objectified, yet the film ultimately reveals a glimmer of recognition for the animal’s individuality.
Bea de Visser is a visual artist, director, and script writer based in Dordrecht, Netherlands. Alongside her artistic practice, she is a producer and consultant for Anotherfilm and advises on corporate collections. She lectures on narrative techniques, concept development, and cinematography at HKU University of the Arts Utrecht and mentors students in the Master Scenography programme.
