Erased 2018
Sculpture (photographs printed on dibond, concrete base), 350 x 110 x 5 cm.
A site-specific sculpture designed for the Middelheim Museum, an open-air sculpture park in Antwerp, approaches the theme of the human figure omnipresent in the collection of the museum. Rethinking the ancient sculptures that lost their body parts in time, the headless statue gives a contemporary interpretation to the classics.

The human body is investigated in order to create a humorous overview of contemporary movements and postures. The relationship with technology has created new gestures that are already recognized in the public vision. The project studies the shift in the perception of the space due to the technological devices which make a distinction between the virtual distance and the physical one. The sculpture ideally measures the difference between these two different spaces – how close we can be while being far from each other – and leaves the question open.

Sculpture (photographs printed on forex, metal), 180 cm x 55 cm x 3 cm.
A metal structure captures the elements of the street giving an imaginary set of city life. The loneliness of the citizen is caught in a structure that reminds the typical assembly kit of childhood.
