In the art gallery <strong>Duck Marskal</strong></p> <p>Lange Koepoortstraat 54, Antwerp</p> <p>When? <strong>22 February 2019 at 7 pm.</strong></p> <p>At this exhibition you will discover new&nbsp;work and you will be able to buy the book unvisited gestures.</p> <p>We would like to welcome you with&nbsp;snacks and&nbsp;drinks.</p> <p>Save the date!</p> <p>About <strong>Duck Marskal</strong>:</p> <p>Duck Marskal is a unique combination of a shop with a graphic twist and an art gallery.</p> <p>https://www.facebook.com/pg/duckmarskal</p> <p>Below you will find a small explanation of the images that will appear in the book <strong>unvisited gestures</strong>. But of course you will discover more about the underlying meaning of the images in the book itself.</p> <p>For four years I captured images. Concepts. With the intention to create something that would give the viewer a sense of alienation.&nbsp;Coming from a background in dance I observed how the abstraction of a movement can tell a story. When choreographing I develop images in my head which I then try to capture in a photographic way. They become stills. Frozen in a world full of colors. A solitary world with unvisited gestures. A place where you get acquainted with the characters. Characters without a visible identity. Nobody knows why she is there. Or maybe they do? Sometimes she will be alone in her own fragile state of mind. Sometimes she will be accompanied by another figure. At times it can be quite surreal. A sense of loneliness prevails.</p> <p>Trying to hide but in doing so she draws the attention. To flee from your own identity but not knowing where you are really running from. To take a pose and to wait until everything passes you by. To escape into the background where we don&#39;t think we belong just to rediscover ourselves.</p> <h2><strong>The team behind the book:</strong></h2> <p>Photographer: <strong>Olympe Tits</strong></p> <p>Design: <strong>Sonja Thoms</strong>&nbsp;</p> <p>Text: <strong>Katrien Vanderbiest&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>To bring this book to life I&#39;m going to need your help.</p> <p>There are a lot of things to consider when making a book.&nbsp;</p> <p>To be able to work together with an amazing team and of course the printing of the book itself requires time and money. And financially this is something I can&#39;t afford right now unfortunately.</p> <p>So I would like to ask you for help to realise my dream!</p> <p>Thank you for your support</p> <p>Olympe</p>
