L’artiste belge Fred Eerdekens présente sa première grande exposition personnelle à Paris. Reconnu internationalement et présent dans de nombreuses collections privées et publiques, cet artiste pluridisciplinaire utilise des matériaux variés sans jamais se contraindre techniquement.
« Regarder une œuvre de Fred Eerdekens c’est un peu regarder un tour de passe-passe ». Les matériaux qu’il emploie pour ses installations sont très divers et souvent issus du quotidien : fils métalliques, installations végétales, accumulation de vêtements ou encore nuages synthétiques. Il les sculpte afin de faire apparaître sur les murs et les sols leur ombre déformée ; une ombre qui, avec la lumière, se transforme en mots. L’ombre portée d’un banal fil de fer suspendu dans les airs se transforme en une phrase mystérieuse : Seen not seen ou Close your eyes. Un amas de vêtement à priori anodin projette au sol la phrase Life itself is not enough.
Tous ces mots posés de manière fragile sur les murs forment le répertoire poétique de Fred Eerdekens. Au rapport entre matérialité de l’objet et immatérialité de l’ombre projetée s’ajoute un second niveau de sens dans lequel l’artiste interroge le lien entre l’image et le langage.
La magie des œuvres de Fred Eerdekens réside dans la faculté de l’artiste à transporter le spectateur dans un monde à la fois ordinaire et merveilleux ; un monde où les frontières sont troubles ; un monde qui pousse à la réflexion mais aussi et surtout, à la rêverie.


Belgian artist Fred Eerdekens presents his first major solo exhibition in Paris. Internationally recognized and presented in many private and public collections, this multidisciplinary artist uses different and various materials without ever constraining himself technically.
"To watch out Fred Eerdekens’s work, it is like looking at a sleight of hands." He uses a large variety of different materials in his installation pieces. Most of them are taken from his daily life: metal strings, plant-covered installation, accumulation of clothing and synthetic clouds. He sculpts these materials to reveal on walls and floors their distorted shadow, a shadow that turns into words with the light. The shadow of an ordinary wire suspended in the air turns into a mysterious sentence: Seen not seen or Close your eyes. A pile of clothes – a priori trivial - projects on the ground the sentence Life itself is not enough.
All these words laid in a fragile way on walls form the poetic repertory of Fred Eerdekens. To the relationship between the materiality of the object and the immateriality of the shadow the artist adds a second level of meaning in which he questions the link between image and language.
The magic of Fred Eerdekens’s works carries the viewers into a world that is both ordinary and wonderful; a world where borders are not clear, a world that encourage the reflection but also and above all, dream.
