By means of performances, videos, installations, paintings and drawings, he tests the limits of art and reality. Each of his works is an attempt to break through the image and to make its impact on an aesthetic as well as a socio-cultural and political level. Thus, Vergara creates a new, suspended reality, grown from the artist’s personal dialogue with reality and with the image by which it has already been transformed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDecontextualised images of reality are mediated by the artist and transformed into art, encouraging the viewer to question their way of perceiving the everyday as well as the way it is presented to them in images. Vergara’s art disorients and disconcerts the viewer. It questions what is known and opens paths to new modes of signification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccompanying the 2023 retrospective exhibition \u003cem\u003eIn the Instant\u003c\/em\u003e that the MACS is dedicating to Angel Vergara, this important book reviews the career of the Belgian artist and highlights the close relationship between his painting and the cinematic medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDistributed for Mercatorfonds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e02.11.2022 – 02.06.2023\u003cbr\u003e\nOutside installation.
