👑 De Bruyckere Berlinde In the Woods There Were Chainsaws Steidl & Hauser & Wirth

The book focuses on a body of work in which trees, branches and fragmented human forms merge into powerful sculptures that explore vulnerability, suffering, transformation and the relationship between nature and the human body.

Featuring photographs by Mirjam Devriendt and texts by De Bruyckere and Dutch novelist Tommy Wieringa, this publication is more than an exhibition catalogue. It is a carefully conceived artist's book in which image and text work together to reveal the atmosphere, materiality and emotional intensity of the sculptures.
