ZONDER TITEL

ZONDER TITEL (HANNES VAN SEVEREN)

At first glance, these are abandoned objects from a construction site. But the artist deliberately removes these stairs from their familiar context and places them in various places in this domain, right up to the roof. This raises questions for the viewer: where do these stairs lead to? Why are they unclimbable? The line between the real and the intangible becomes blurred. After all, life also consists of steps, successive phases, the ultimate goal of which is impossible to grasp. On this site, where among others residents suffer from dementia, these sculptures take on a specific deeply human dimension.
