PACIFIC – Fontaine, Place Royale
My project PACIFIC consists of 21 monumental sculptures in ceramics.
They are hybrids, amorphous beings metamorphosing into a mixture of human, animal and plant.
Seeking protection in the fountain, they are gentle, serene and peaceful.
They are rather feminine, caring and protective.
They stand powerful but also vulnerable in this world.
I was questioning the place and the situation.
I wanted to wake up the fountain.
I brought an explosion of colour and life into it.

These ceramic heads are not portraits, but archetypes.
Melancholy lurks behind their firm eyes or their gaze on infinity; they are the ambivalence of our position in the world: monstrous and beautiful, strong and fragile.

4th Triennial of Contemporary Art , ‘(dis) CONNECTED’, Duffel

4th Triennial of Contemporary Art
‘(dis) CONNECTED’

According to the British-Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman, we live in ‘liquid times’. The old solid structures and institutional frameworks, which formed the foundation of society, are falling apart today and must make way for processes that are constantly in motion. The pace at which society changes and innovates today is so fast that no fixed patterns can emerge.
One consequence is that society is becoming an unpredictable complex system, in which there is little dependence and connection between individuals. Despite the high degree of autonomy to determine the meaning and goals of life, there is great uncertainty and fear of what the future holds. This can be characterized as indeterminacy, loneliness and uprooting.
The exhibition ‘VERBINDING (verbroken) / (dis)CONNECTED’ aims to explore this social theme in all its consequences, both critical and hopeful.
