Every Letter is a Love Letter, Tallinn Art Hall, Estonia
Egon Van Herreweghe manufactures and manipulates photographs, sculptures and installations to explore his ongoing interest in the realm of images. Characteristic for his practice are fragmented, collage-based arrangements, combining pre-existing elements with works created in the studio, occasionally in collaboration with other artists. By addressing our collective relationship with design, fashion, and advertisement, Van Herreweghe exposes how we continuously turn to media to discover and determine our motives and identities. The myth of the individual and self-representation are key issues in his work, as well as the predominance of the perceptible.
