'A Painting As A Resting Place For The Gravedigger'

2021

oil paint, gauze, rope, steel, wood, canvas

variable dimensions 

‘A Painting As A Resting Place For The Gravedigger’ is my contribution to the second edition of PASS, a scenic arts route along the villages of Huise, Mullem, Wannegem & Lede (BE). With this in-situ installation I anticipated to a strong recollection that I have of my sole experience as a gravedigger some 23 years ago on the exact same graveyard in Huise, in the summer of ‘98 when I was working as a student for the municipal green service. I can assure you, digging up a sealed off, non-degradable plastic body bag (as was apparently the case in those days) with a rotten corpse inside was quite a challenging experience for this young man’s soul and it left a lasting & vivid imprint in my memory. As a sign of respect for the people who do this as a daily job, I created a spatial painting as a (temporary) resting place for the gravedigger: a skyblue shelter in oil paint that was entirely scraped off a stretched canvas, with a canvas bed and pillows underneath it. Two ‘Salami Sandwich Paintings’ (oil paint, on a wood & canvas 'sandwich') were placed onto the bed, as a reference to Saint Anthony Abbot, the patron saint of the gravediggers, a hermit who spend most of his life fasting in solitary confinement in a cave in the desert and who is often depicted with a pig alongside his feet. The black ‘scent tree’ in oil paint hanging inside the shelter refers to my strongest recollection of this experience: the overall penetrating stench of sheer Death that came out of the grave. And finally, the work is left out in the open, unprotected, and will probably suffer severely from the outside weather conditions. After all, is there a better way to pinpoint such a thing like vanitas? (cdv)
