The photos, video recordings, sculptures, and installations of Roy Villevoye show his close connection to the indigenous people Asmat on Papua New Guinea. Sometimes by using anthropology, Villevoye visualises the cultural tensions between rain forests, and the Western world. This confluence is central to his realistic sculpture The Things They Carried (The Missionary). Missionary work is often associated with exploitation, domination, and colonialism. However, according to Villevoye and Dietvorst, it also show a small version of history, and insights into personal histories. 

For TransHISTORY, they created the film The New Dress, a portrait of 84-year-old Majella Hoppenbrouwers. She talks about her work as a missionary in former Dutch New Guinee, where she lived with the Asmat Papua people. Images of Hoppenbrouwers are mixed with a sewing studio where her dress is being made by Asmat Papua people. It begs the questions: 'how did the arrival of Sister Majella affect the Asmat community?'
