INTERVIEW. Elisabeth Lucie Baeten: “In a niche I was surrounded by a group of six or seven men. Only later did I realize how wrong that was.”

She awarded an MIA, won a Kastaar, shined at the Ensors. But then it suddenly became quiet around Elisabeth Lucie Baeten (33) and since this week we know why: her uterus was removed in the hospital. “I’ve been in pain since I was 16 and it just won’t stop. I am, basically, a great optimist. But if anything can get me down, it’s my body.”
