Night Journey

Bol

A lasting memory to Hans Op de Beeck’s unique installation at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp In Nocturnal Journey, 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. 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. This book presents a remarkable visual record that captures the unique mood of the exhibition. With texts by Annelien De Troij and Stéphane Symons. Publication accompanying the exhibition Hans Op de Beeck: Nocturnal Journey at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, from 21 March to 17 August 2025.
