The 'Je fais ce que je veux' series consists of six free-standing canvases, spread across the space, each in duo with a smaller work presented on the wall. The series derived from an excerpt of 'Rendez-vous avec...', a French TV programme of the 1960s. In the programme, Jacqueline Joubert, one of the first female presenters on French national television, would invite a well-known guest every week. On 9 December 1961, her guest was the then very popular comic actor and singer Bourvil. He performs, among other things, the song 'Je fais ce que tu veux'; a playful, slightly ironic song about marriage. The text reflects an extremely traditional image of marriage and family life, with all the correspondent systems, norms and expectations that accompany them and that that have lasted for centuries. In the television performance, Bourvil dances humorously and theatrically throughout the set, around the presenter's chair. Joubert, on the other hand, is hardly an image of emancipation at the beginning of the song: she sits at the ready with pen and paper to jot down Bourvil's words of wisdom. Towards the end of the song, she has disappeared from the scene altogether. The decor consists of six panel doors, each decorated with its own abstract pattern. The open setting prompts reflection. Is Bourvil singing about his relationship with one partner, or with as many partners as there are doors? Or is it a direct reference to the door comedy: a light-hearted play in which the protagonists get entangled in intrigue, usually exacerbated by the various doors in the set through which characters can enter or disappear from the scene at will?

The title of Leen Voet's series 'Je fais ce que je veux' is a deliberate twist on the title of Bourvil's song. She reworked the patterns of the doors into colourful, abstract paintings. The door paintings are arranged freely within the space, as if they were active characters. Painted on the back of the doors are the long titles of the works, each one a different stanza from the song. Each door painting forms a duo with a smaller canvas presented on the wall, reflecting the classic gender roles of the married couple: a free-standing door and the figures as secondary objects on the wall. The six smaller canvases are schematic representations of Joubert and Bourvil: Joubert sitting on her chair, Bourvil moving in an expressive manner. In this way, Leen Voet seems to turn the tables: in this case, it is the people who form the backdrop, and the doors that dance through the space.
