In the world of Hans Op de Beeck (Belgium) if all the world's a proverbial stage, then man is its blunderous and tragicomic scenographer. His monumental installations, sculptures, videos, watercolours, drawings and texts offer moments of stillness, reflection and solace in our world that is all too complex. Op de Beeck lives and works in Brussels. His work is exhibited all over the world in museums, kunsthalles, galleries, biennales and at other noteworthy cultural events.

In this unprecedented publication, the artist demystifies his artistic process in a disarming manner that is frank and enthralling. Bound to appeal wider art audiences and experts alike, this accessible book illuminates Op de Beeck's working processes, and is therefore sure to fascinate and inspire generations of artists, future and present, as well.
