In 1974 he registered for graduate study at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in Paris where he worked in semiotics and from which he received a PhD for his thesis "Pour une Sémiotique Spectaculaire" under the direction of A.
While in college, he began to work as a producer at the Flemish Radio and Television Network. After graduating from Notre Dame Jesuit High School, he returned to the city of his birth to study in the Department of Audiovisual and Dramatic Arts and Techniques (Rits), Erasmus University College Brussels, and took courses in philosophy and mass communication at the Free University of Brussels. According to him, his family mostly spoke Dutch while they "thought in French and felt the more subtle emotions" in that language. Towards the end of the 2000s, he started organizing concerts en images, events in which he combines silent films, some segments shot by himself for the occasions, with live classical music, and sometimes singing and acting.Įric de Kuyper was born and spent his early childhood in Brussels and then, as he put it, his teenage years of choices swayed by "faith, sexuality, and the future" in Antwerp. His non-traditional films reveal an engineered penchant for melodrama, love songs, and silent movies their central topic is homosexuality. His academic writing encompasses reviews, essays, articles, and books on semiotics, film, dance, theater, and opera.
Fictionalized autobiographical novels, written in the 3rd-person, account for most of his creative work.
