Axel Korban - Expecting my mind to be in a better shape

Reggy Timmermans & Beatrijs Albers present the project DEEP SIX at CENTRALE | vitrine. Timmermans & Albers are multidisciplinary artists who work with installation, sculpture, video and photography. For the project DEEP SIX, the duo focuses on six objects in the vitrine environment. The objects are treated in such a way that their primary representation – the one that humans make of them – gives way to their own physiological qualities, in order to create a new ecosystem within the exhibition space. The approach here is to be able to approach these objects by removing their image, the ever-present correlation between humans and these objects, thus calling into question the centrality of Man. Timmermans & Albers thus question the influence of Man in this period of the Anthropocene in which the dualisms of modern thought – subject/object, nature/culture, body/spirit – are the source of all possible discriminations and exploitations. By decentralising the human position, the duo proposes to achieve an ontological equality between Man and objects.
