Berlinde De Bruyckere - Schmerzensmann - Steidl Hauser & Wirth 2006

Accompanying the first UK exhibition of the work of Berlinde De Bruyckere in autumn 2006, this publication presents the artist's frail-looking wax figures suspended from tall iron columns. They invoke the 'Schmerzensmann', the eternal 'Man of Suffering;' their forms appear vulnerable and violated, their skin stretched and broken.
Concept: Berlinde de Bruyckere and Petra Fieuws. Photographs by Mirjam Devriendt.
