‘Enough to prove that the black sky is truly of mankind and not painted on the windowpane’ is the result of a close collaboration between Hannelore Van Dijck and Koba De Meutter. Every meeting can shift or attribute meaning. Koba and Hannelore are both artists who start from a dialogue with a given context. Together they move in a new environment in which codes get intermingled, and a frame of reference is nothing on which to fall back. Hannelore plays Koba, Koba copies Hannelore, inexperience is a factor, looking for help is sublime and a dialogue among each other can grow into a dialogue with links from the environment. Visual language is universal, but at times also indirect, fragmentary and obscure. How do they go about this? How can they balance or shift together between inexperience and experience; comfort and fear; action and reflection?

Hannelore Van Dijck and Koba De Meutter concluded their collaboration at DMW Gallery with the presentation of a collaborative multiple. For more about this multiple and its availability, see the section ‘Duo Show Multiples’ on this site.
