ANALYSIS OF UN UNKNOWN OBJECT
begins with the image of a strange object which is evocative enough
to spark the imagination and jostle the visitors frame of reference. As if he were
trying to understand it himself, Matthijs de Bruijne lays the image open to the attention and
sensibility of each visitor. This vaguely mysterious object serves, in fact, as pretext
for interaction, and for emphasising individual imagination. Imbued with poetry and humour,
it allows for different interpretations revealing parts of each participants universe.
