Ziltes - by Bernadette Messiaen (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The visual art in Ziltes was created from a mixture of oxygen and salt during the active time in the artist's practice. The creative result suggests a conscious and radical act of resistance by the artist as a human being against linear time, a time that moves forward too fast for anyone who captures life. Virginie Platteau wrote nine poems (FR/ NL /EN) that are scattered throughout the pages and written in dialog with the artworks. Bernadette Messiaen has been practicing art for over forty years, however this is the first time she is coming out as an artist.
