Mirage, 2019 - Variable materials, epoxy, Boom clay, plants, objects, 6.5 x 2.5 x 4 m, Kuntshal Extra City, Antwerp, © Ithier Held
An explosion of degraded materials invests a neglected, rejected interstice. Miniature harbour constructions sink into Boom clay, a substance which would be potentially capable of containing radioactive waste. Refuse, the useless, waste, remaining nevertheless, join forces to subvert a logic of productive growth. This installation marks the return of the exile, whether organic or plastic, mineral or vegetal.
