Didier Vermeiren

Didier Vermeiren marks the occasion of Didier Vermeiren’s eponymous solo exhibition at WIELS in Brussels, illuminating the recurrent strategies of repetition, reversal, doubling, and inversion that the artist explores in his work. Published to coincide with his exhibition, Double Exposition takes its name from a photograph by Vermeiren that refers to its own double exposure ("exposition" in French, which also translates as "exhibition"). The title evokes the themes of repetition, reversal, doubling, and inversion Vermeiren imbues into his art.

Conceived by the artist himself and containing a rich array of his striking photographs, this book offers an in-depth analysis of Vermeiren’s most recent sculptures, penned by Michel Gauthier, a long-term commentator on his practice. It also includes an essay by Susana Gállego-Cuesta on the central role of photography in his studio practice, and an examination of the shifts and continuities in his oeuvre over the past four decades by Zoë Gray, the exhibition’s curator.
