Sculpture, 16 × 38 × 11 cm.
Materials:

Collection: Collectie M HKA, Antwerpen - Donation Friends of M HKA (Inv. no. S0538).

The figure that lays draped on the floor directs our gaze as we enter, seemingly unravelling itself in pieces. As the viewer walks past, perspective shifts, making the sculpture stretch and reconfigure to what appears as a “readable whole”. Nadia Naveau’s imagery arches and conjugates in space. In her sculptural collages, detached elements overlap and seemingly accidentally come together until the pieces literally fall into place.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
