Koenraad Dedobbeleer
°1975, Halle (BE) – lives and works in Brussels (BE)
In his objects, installations, photographs and media projects, Koenraad Dedobbeleer develops new perspectives on our collective knowledge. His works usually take their cue from situations or objects that he encounters in everyday life; in particular architectural aspects or objects used to shape our personal living space.
Another important part of his approach is the artistic tradition of the avant-garde to which he often refers in his distortion of the familiar. Dedobbeleer does this through minimal shifts in shape, size or materials, surprising combinations and bizarre, commanding titles.
