!Vrouwenvragen? [!Women's questions?], 1965
Installation , 600 x 140 cm
ink, paper

Womens questions? is a list of handwritten questions, questions made for schoolgirls. A questionnaire that brings the viewer in relation with the community. In this work Jef Geys uses language as a vehicle to extrapolate the community. Again a transgression of the boarders, an expansion of the esthetics into the everyday reality of schoolgirls.
