Exhibition text
The work of Liliane Vertessen, now spanning over 5 decades, consists of analogue photography assembled into neon installations and sculptures. Vertessen creates erotic mise-en-scenes in which she depicts various female stereotypes, balancing between exhibitionism and kitsch-like make-belief. Her own body forms the central figure in erotic self-portraits that both celebrate and question its subject matter.
Liliane Vertessen (1952, Leopoldsburg) lives and works in Heusden Zolder. Past exhibitions include Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens, Deurle (1983); PCBK, Hasselt (duo show with Cindy Sherman, 1987); S.M.A.K., Ghent (1989); Museum Fridericianum, Kassel (1989); M HKA, Antwerp (1992) and Mu.ZEE, Ostend (1996), Musée de la Fotographie, Charleroi (2018)
At TICK TACK, Vertessen will debut new in-situ works in dialogue with older unseen works.
For CINEMA TICK TACK Vertessen will screen a new retrospective moving image work, showcasing a selection of images from her vast archive from 1970 to the present.
