BRAM VAN BREDA (BE) - MATTER OUT OF PLACE, 2O17


A white translucent space, with a combination of re-appropriated and found objects of the pigeon shed. 
These objects are translated into ceramic and wrapped in linen. 
By placing them back into a pigeon shed, the identity of these objects is questioned. 
On first sight it looks as if the space is completely white. But as you come closer you’ll find traces of dirt. White chalk dust, traditionally used to purify a pigeon shed, is here used on the windows to create a spaciousness. In combination with the hand dyed silk, dyed with pigeon shit, it becomes a highly aesthetic space.
This is magnified by presenting little pigeon bones on a aluminium plate. 
They still carry the official ring of the sport pigeon. 
The clean aesthetic was encountered on the opening of ‘vitrine Jeune Artiste’ by a pigeon intruding the white space. A bit of seeds is a small reminder of the action that took place on that evening.
