sacro cranio

Title of a work by Karel >De Meester, created in 'de Seefhoek' [neighbourhood in Antwerp] ca 1992-1993; the work appears in a b/w photo shown at croxhapox by Christophe >Engels (ARMEE LEGER, January 2006): an appartment building transformed into a monumental sculpture by means of black and white planes. In the digitally manipulated image, only the lofty staircase is shown. The title, sacro cranio or spine, refers to the geometric rhythm of the original architecture.
