Illusions

After Happy Island, Bram turned his attention to the scenography of 'survival'. He created models of observation towers using epoxy casts of wooden rods, collectively called 'illusions'. These constructions, though colorful and fragile at first glance, reveal upon closer inspection their true nature as prison and concentration towers. This work offers a critical reflection on the themes of power and control in contemporary society. These towers were exhibited at the Lucien De Gheus Museum House (Poperinge), CAS (Ostend), Huis Mares (Maastricht), the Havenhuis in Antwerp, and during the Solo project at the Vanderborght Building in Brussels. One of the towers was awarded the Arte Falco Prize for small sculpture in Beveren in 2024.
