Van Stof tot Asse 2017
Exhibition catalog accompanying the triennial exhibition of contemporary art, commissioned by Gallery de Ziener. The concept of this book revolves around the disappearance of buildings’ original functions in modern cities, driven by the rise of e-commerce and property speculation.
To reflect this phenomenon, Google Street View screenshots of these buildings were layered in black and white, creating a shadowy, abstract cover image. This image, along with the text, was printed in silver on black felt paper, enhancing the sense of absence and memory. On the reverse side, the GPS coordinates mark the location where a building once stood and where the artist was active—ensuring its presence endures. The foreword is written by Willem Elias, professor emeritus of the VUB, Brussels.
