In Nocturnal Journey<\/em><\/strong>, visual artist Hans Op de Beeck (b. 1969) invites us on an extraordinary journey through a desolate, mysterious landscape. His monochrome grey sculptures appear petrified or dusted with ash, as if frozen in time.<\/p>\n

These works draw the viewer in and invite contemplation on the poetry of everyday, unguarded moments. But there is more. Behind the serene beauty lies an enigmatic, dark atmosphere of impending derailment. The frozen figures—characters, still lifes, objects, animals, nature, and architecture—come together to form an uncanny, surreal world that compels us to reflect on our humanity.<\/p>\n

This book presents a remarkable visual record that captures the unique mood of the exhibition.<\/p>\n

With texts by Annelien De Troij, Stéphane Symons and Hans Op de Beeck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Hans Op de Beeck transforms Antwerp’s Royal Museum into a mysterious night park. This book lets readers relive the surreal atmosphere of Nocturnal Journey.
