Le livre paraît à l'occasion de l'exposition "Teo Hernández : Éclater les apparences" à la Villa Vassilieff (8 février - 27 avril 2019) et rassemble une sélection de fragments des carnets de l'artiste, disparu prématurément à Paris en 1992.
"Since the early 1990s, visionary artist Joost Rekveld has been exploring the inner depths and outer reaches of optical expression at the nexus of technology and natural phenomena, producing a body of astonishing works of mesmerizing abstraction. Rekveld's film combine a remarkable ingenuity and facility with the image-making capabilities of various machines (many of his own design) with his radically inventive theories and approaches to form, motion, and perception.
These films foreground the experiences of our surroundings and cinematic space, while engaging in singular aesthetic journeys of their own. Narratives of space are traced in this work, exploring material environments constructed as sites, by movement and habit, and the workings of finance and capital.
Includes an essay by Jonathan P. Watts, contemporary art critic and lecturer at the Royal College of Art, London.
