A MESSAGE FROM SPACE IN MY BACKYARD
Krassimir Terziev"It is far from rational from the perspective of single human life to imagine that a piece of space shuttle, after being launched some 20 years ago, would hit a woman in her backyard in California, or a piece of derelict Russian satellite, after orbiting the earth for a several decades, would reach its final destination in the desert of Australia in front of local shepherds...

WARBURGBALLETTEN
Koen Theys'Warburgballetten' was inspired by the life and work of Aby Warburg (1866-1929). It is an homage to this founder of iconography. The image is divided in two parts: a smaller one on the left, with figures from (mainly) renaissance paintings; and a bigger part on the right, with figures from propaganda posters that were made during World War I...
ARBRE + PLUIE
