Walter Verdin studied art history and plastic arts (painting, etching). His designs of record sleeves and posters introduced him to the Belgian pop music scene at the end of the seventies, resulting in a solo album with Flemish funky songs. After his remarkable participation in the Eurovision Song Contest of 1983 with his group Pas de deux, he decided to take leave of popular music and concentrate on the combination of video and music/sound.
Videorhythmics (1984) is his first video/concert in which live music was played on the pulses of rhythmically edited videotapes. Since then he has produced several video and multimedia installations and video concerts in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, France, Germany, Denmark and Finland. His video art tapes have been shown at all the major international video art festivals.
Since 1980, he has been videotaping theatre performances for the University of Leuven and for several dance and theatre companies. This, in turn, has led to the production of theatre and dance videos in their own right, as well as video clips. He worked together with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Wim Vandekeybus, Steve Paxton and many others. Roseland (1991) was probably the most successful of these collaborations, honored with three important international prices.
In 1993 he decided to take a break in his production of dance tapes in order to work on his own projects. The video installation Videolepsia (1993) was the first result of this decision. At the end of that year, he went to the Ivory Coast to shoot for the video concert X-Afrika (1996).
In 1999 he started working on the Storm trilogy, a research on the interaction between video and three other disciplines: dance, music and theatre. Since then, he focused on short collaborations with other artists, in small projects, always with the use of video and sound: concerts, performances, installations...
In 2002 Walter Verdin started the project TITLE SAFE.

Oui, on me l'a déjà fait remarqué. D'un autre côté, on se demande si elle va aller jusqu'au bout ou pas. On peut aussi l'interpréter comme un scénario que beaucoup ont imaginé (notamment en fin d'année, puisque c'est le moment où il faut faire semblant d'être parfaitement heureux), sans passer à l'acte pour autant. Le court métrage est donc la manifestation d'un ressenti universel, surtout dans notre société ou la soi disante perfection est obligatoire pour être accepté par les autres. J'avais mis une chanson de noel pour accompagner le court au début, mais n'ayant pas les droits, j'ai du la changer. merci pour ton avis en tout cas, je te souhaite de très bonnes fêtes de fin d'année.
