Danse Macabre / Hans Op de Beeck

The Belgian artist is best known for his monumental, immersive, sensorial installations and at the Tenuta Dello Scompiglio the exhibition unfolds through a site-specific installation and an animated film. The former, entitled Danse Macabre, appears as a black-and-white evocation of a nocturnal park composed of bare trees and puddles, where the path leads us to a life-size, monochrome grey afterimage of a carousel. A musical soundscape, composed by Sam Vloemans and performed by the Hermes Ensemble (B), resonates from afar throughout the landscape, drawing toward the second part, where the animated film Vanishing Point is screened, completing the exhibition.
