met zonder KOP
Willem Oorebeek
Published by MER. Paper Kunsthalle, Ghent, 2005, 64 pp. (b/w ill.), 20.5 × 27.5 cm, English
Price: €50

Rémy Zaugg said about a work of Cezanne: “The manufacture of the image is the work of the beholder.” William Oorebeek once quoted this in one of his books, and calls his artistic interventions often “picture editing”. This is more than clear in met zonder KOP. The multitude of images and snippets of detail, of shifts, the increase of the image resources and gaps that Oorebeek uses, forces the viewer to “build a picture”, in the way we are daily forced to reconstruct the flow of images into a sensible and meaningful whole.
