Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | In 'The Member of the Wedding', a 1946 novel by the American author Carson McCullers, the twelve-year-old protagonist Frankie Addams sighs: They were the two prettiest people I ever saw. Yet it was like I couldn't see all of them I wanted to see. My brains couldn't gather together quick enough and take it all in. And then they were gone. You see what I mean? That Stief DeSmet understands what Frankie means like no other, how could it be otherwise? What he invariably presents in his work, and again in 'Paradise, Prototypes & Other Deconstructions', is the fragmentary representation of something that is too agile and too fleeting in its totality ? far too agile and fleeting ? to be fully grasped. Paradoxically enough, that something cannot be equated to what we often call the unreal beauty of supremely attractive people, or to colourful skies filled with billowing clouds, or even with artistic masterpieces. Nor is it related, in a non-aesthetic sense, to the type of incident that is often characterised as too good to be true. Exhibition: Be-Part, Waregem, Belgium (24.02.-02.06.2019) |
