Griet Teck (1982) resides in Ghent, where she intertwines her roles as a filmmaker, artist and art therapist, merging the realms of film, visual arts, and care. Her documentary films, Feel My Love and Touching Infinity, explore recurring themes of loss, silence, and love, delving into the delicate nature of fragility with an emphasis on profound connection.

​

After earning a Master's degree in Audiovisual Arts from KASK in Ghent, Teck created the award-winning film JOHAN, which followed the daily rituals of her brother who has autism. This personal experience refined her ability to feel and look beyond what we see. It led to the creation of her debut feature documentary, FEEL MY LOVE, about dementia. The film premiered at the International Film Festival of Rotterdam in 2014 and became a crowd favorite. In 2016, Teck was selected for the Berlinale Talents. Her second creative documentary feature, TOUCHING INFINITY explores the end of life and premiered at the DOCVILLE International Documentary Film Festival in Leuven in October 2020. Both films were released in cinemas and nominated for the Ensor for Best Belgian Documentary. In November 2022 Touching Infinity was released in Spain by Bosco Films.

​

In addition to her own work, Teck was a member of artist Dirk Braeckman’s core team for many years and frequently collaborates with other artists. These filmic collaborations include LASSUS, the penitential psalms, the visual essay à la rencontre de l'intensité and an ongoing collaboration with artist Bart Lodewijks.

 

More recently, Teck worked with sound artist and curator Maud Seuntjens to create the sculptural installation 'Mirabilis', inspired by the mystical portrayal of Christina the Astonishing's levitations.
