Jakob Van den Broucke about ad interim (2017-...)
"The first picture was taken in 2017 after I graduated as a social scientist. For two years in a row, I did several jobs through an interim office. I had no preference and accepted everything they suggested. For example one month I worked in 4 different companies. My first job with a contract was in a winter shelter for homeless people, it was a temporary appointment though. Then I worked in a library, as a replacement for someone pregnant, it was a full-time job. Thereafter I worked two years part-time as a social worker. Since July 2022 I have been able (someway somehow) and very lucky to commit myself full-time to being a visual artist. I am curious to see what the future will bring."
