A new durational performance, OPUS III by Stef Van Looveren, slowly unfolds during the final hours of the exhibition, with body, materials and time reshaping the work in real time. The performance explores the idea of transformation through repetition and subtle gestures, thereby blurring the boundaries between ritual, endurance and sculpture. Visitors encounter the work at different stages, making each meeting a unique moment within an ongoing process rather than a fixed event.
About the artist
Stef Van Looveren is a Belgian multidisciplinary artist working with performance, video, photography, sculpture and installation. Their practice explores the politics of embodiment, sexuality and the constructed nature of identity, often employing humour and prosthetic objects to show how identities are shaped, constrained and liberated. Van Looveren’s performances and installations blur the boundaries between theatrical spectacle, ritual and bodily exploration. Inspired by religious iconography, technology, popular culture and subcultures such as BDSM, their work develops an immersive and charged visual language that questions normative expectations of the body and invites the viewer into a transformative experience.
