Middle Gate

    NLEN

    The exhibition project Middle Gate II – The Story of Dymphna is a collaboration between M HKA (Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp) and the cultural centre de Werft in Geel. Middle Gate II is the follow up to the exhibition Middle Gate, curated by Jan Hoet in Geel in 2013. The exhibition concept is closely tied to the legend of the holy Dymphna, saint of the possessed, the mentally ill and patroness against epilepsy and insanity. The legend of Dymphna shares a strong connection to the identity of Geel, "the charitable city".

    (From the Perspective of the Tao)

    "An imaginary street scene, in which, among other things, sequences and numbers behave like figures. A work made according to the soul of Patricia De Martelaere’s book Taoïsme – De weg om niet te volgen (Taoism: The Road Not to Take) from 2006. I used this image as a starting point for my interactive work Pluriform. Above and below, I added an image of a perpetuum mobile from the sixteenth century."
