Feuilleton

Short-listed for the International Art Exhibition of the 2011 Venice Biennale, artist Angel Vergara’s ‘Feuilleton’ was ultimately selected as the Belgian contribution. It is “a project with a universal and timeless theme… a resolutely contemporary vision of the Seven Deadly Sins.” With an introduction by Luc Tuymans, curator of the Belgian Pavilion, this book chronicles the artist’s inspiration, creative process and appropriation of images in the tradition of Western iconography for the artwork itself – a so-called ‘phantom reality’ of repeated, superimposed and moving images that suggests infinite possibility.
