ABOUT
Sybren Vanoverberghe (°1996, Kortrijk) is an artist based in Ghent, Belgium. His work functions as an analysis of the correlation between place and time and the ever recurring cycle of history.
He searches for elements of myths, nature and heritage both within ordinary sites as in places of historical importance. By what process do we attach meaning to these locations?
His practice deconstructs sites and brings together icons to form a new unity of the present. Vanoverberghe his work has been published in books such as 2099 (2018) and Conference Of The Birds (2019) by APE.
His work has been shortlisted for the PHMuseum Grant and he received the Prix Horlait Dapsens. He has exhibited solo at RIOT, Stieglitz19 and BredaPhoto.
