Lars Duchateau

Lars Duchateau (1997) is an artist who mainly works with photography. By applying a wide variety of contemporary strategies. His photos are an investigation into representations of seemingly concrete ages. By studying sign processes, signification and communication, he makes work that generates diverse meanings and associations. Space becomes time and language becomes image. His works are characterised by the use of everyday events in an atmosphere in which recognition plays an important role. By taking daily life as subject matter, he plays with the idea of the mortality of an artwork. His works question the conditions of an image in the context of contemporary visual culture in which images, representations and ideas normally function. He makes work that deals with the documentation of events and the question of how they can be presented. He is interested in the long-term effect of things.
