exploring space and its hidden layers
Bram Van Breda
1992° Belgium
The multiplicity of Van Breda’s work entails a study of the spatial narratives within the process of image making. Current research topics involve nature and landscape in the Anthropocene, society of the spectacle and the spatial qualities of images. Like an ethnographer he questions our environment, with a concern for the social and political conditions of places. Through historical research, site-specific works and material studies, physical places are transformed into ‘environments’, where new spatial narratives can deploy like a ‘speculative fabulation’. The use of fabulation as a way of fabrication brings him to the point of embodying ‘other’ and in doing so question the cultural significance of representation and its role in defining our belonging to the world. Through different media the artist seeks to manipulate spaces and invites us to reimagine our surrounding, with the clear intention to blur the sharpness of existing meanings and interpretations, in doing so free our mind to reach and invent new dimensions within the same physical appearance.
