Danny Matthys’s oeuvre comprises diverse media such as photography, installation, video, painting, assemblage and sculpture. In his works he investigates an environment that is well known to him. He explores and analyses his own living space, in the broadest sense of the word. He takes stock of physical space, studies and systematises it. For him the revealing of structures is always more important than aesthetic qualities. Matthys wants to make us aware of the how complex we are in our roles as viewers. In this way we can see the work as a formalised research of perception.
