You'll Never Walk Alone

De jury, bestaande uit Arjon Dunnewind (directeur IMPAKT festival), Bianca Stigter (journalist NRC Handelsblad), Bart Rutten (conservator Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam), Guido van der Werve (beeldend kunstenaar) en Jan Schuijren (curator) zag in You'll Never Walk Alone "een werk dat fascineerde door krachtige beeldcomposities, vervreemdende elementen en strakke kaderingen die aangenaam contrasteerden met de openheid van de beelden”.Voor het werk reisde Van Hulzen samen met Sander Breure drie maanden door Uganda. De installatie toont jonge mannen die surrealistische scènes spelen die refereren aan de Westerse filmgeschiedenis.
