In 2011 heeft Landen zijn 800ste jaar als stad gevierd. Om deze verjaardag te vieren hebben zij in de loop van het jaar 2011 meerdere feestelijke activiteiten opgezet. De kunsten die een link hebben met Landen maakten deel uit van het programma.

Kunstfotograaf André Devlaminck (aka RADAN) uit Landen had Kimberly Schemmekes uit Landen meegebracht, zij stond voor zijn lens als model voor zijn versie van de mystieke Landense Geertrui.
