In this book to the eponymous exhibition at Axel Vervoordt Gallery, Nicolodi invites readers (just as the visitors to the exhibition) to slow down and experience space - put on paper - in a renewed way. Through sculpture, painting, and video, he explores the fragile balance between human ambition and impermanence, between what we build and what ultimately remains. Centred on his new installation Hybris, inspired by the myth of the Tower of Babel, the artist offers an immersive encounter with architecture as both a physical and emotional landscape, inviting reflection on how we inhabit, shape, and imagine the spaces around us.
Besides Hybris, the book gathers many more other artworks, such as paintings and video works, all in relation to (exhibition) architecture and space, as is always the case with the artist. Furthermore, the book contains a booklet within a book and a very special crafted cover, which makes it a true collector's item and artistic object.
The book contains an essay by Belgian cultural phliosopher Pascal Gielen, writer and full professor of sociology of culture and politics at the Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts (ARIA). He has published many books on culture, politics, commons and civil action.
