Fascinated by the sacred, ritual, and cerebral act of \r\nlighting a candle, the artist began collecting images of candles and \r\ncandlesticks in an artistic or art-historical context. In \u003cem\u003eCandles\u003c\/em\u003e,\r\n Onderbeke uses his own work and that of others to research what he \r\ncalls \"the colour of darkness,\" or negative space—a concept he borrowed \r\nfrom the Japanese writer and essayist Jun`ichirō Tanizaki. Tanizaki \r\ndescribes this intense experience he had in a large, dark room of a \r\nJapanese tea house where the light of a few candles made the surrounding\r\n darkness feel tangible, as if it turned into monolithic matter. \r\nOnderbeke sees a burning candle as an implosion of architectural space \r\nwhere the centre is usually kept empty. A burning candle in a dark room \r\nreverses that experience, and influences our perception of space, time \r\nand atmosphere.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIn addition to Tim Onderbeke`s work, \u003cem\u003eCandles\u003c\/em\u003e also shows works of Martin Kippenberger, Anne Imhof, Juliaan Lampens, Le Corbusier, Peter Zumthor, Charlemagne Palestine, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Pieter De Bruyne, Damian O`Sullivan, and Robert Filliou, among others.

His   work focuses on the \r\nrelation between sculpture, painting, photography,   film and graphic \r\nart. Negative space is the space between two objects.   Onderbeke is \r\ninterested in the positive space around an object. His   photographs, \r\nvideos, sculptures and paintings are produced mechanically.   Keeping \r\nhis interventions minimal, he wants the material to speak for   itself. \r\nGlass, rubber, aluminium, steel and oil paint are his materials   of \r\nchoice because they represent a background about trade throughout   \r\nhistory.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"After 8 Books","offers":[{"title":"Stück","offer_id":57327988539769,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/4510\/8345\/files\/tim-onderbeke-candles-a-photographic-novel-books-import-862-1622-2.png?v=1779711197","url":"https:\/\/saalhof1123.com\/products\/tim-onderbeke-candles-a-photographic-novel","provider":"SAALHOF 1123","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
