Griet Teck (1982) is an artist-filmmaker based in Ghent whose work navigates the intersections of film, art, and care contexts. She is best known for her documentary-oriented films Feel My Love (2014) and Touching Infinity (2020), as well as installations and participatory art projects. Her work addresses fragility, radical acceptance, loss, transience and silence. It stems from a deep desire to explore the human condition, rooted in her own family history.

​

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 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, the sculptural installation Mirabilis and an ongoing collaboration with artist Bart Lodewijks.

 

More recently, after an intensive period of research and practice, Griet and Maïté Baillieul introduced Moving Silence, an artistic and existential space where the medium film creates possibilities to render one's own desire around loss, dying and grief tangible and transformative. This innovative approach resonates with today's broader societal need for new ways of engaging with loss.
