Gus Møystad: Ex nihilo nihil fit
Eighteen young writers from Flanders and the Netherlands have brought nineteenth-century artefacts from the Rijksmuseum to life. They wrote their stories in response to the question: what do you see when you look at these objects through the lens of impending doom? Gus Møystad drew a graphic story inspired by Jozef Israëls’ painting The Sand Bargeman. ‘I can all but set my clock by his daily routine.’
