Hans Op de Beeck

Hans Op de Beeck seeks to reveal our multiple and laborious relations with time, space and ourselves. He refers to his work as “propositions”. They are undoubtedly fictional, but the places and events that they represent are familiar, apparently taken from everyday life. Beeck thus allows the observer to believe in a parallel reality, or to put his work into immediate perspective, to recognise it as visual construction. This challenges our relationship with reality and representation, with what we really see and what we want to believe, in order to forget our own insignificance and lack of identity in a world dominated by globalisation.
