Michaël Borremans
‘We are conditioned to read images in a certain way and if the image is not explaining, then you need an explanation. But that’s not what my work is meant for… I only build with the stones that are lying there. I have no idea what the purpose of my work could be.’ – Michaël Borremans
2008
