The work
Anthony Duffeleer (°1972, Waregem, Belgium) uses various media to visualize his thought patterns. Objects are chosen, created, combined, or manipulated based on their archetypal nature. He considers his works as reflective interlocutors that capture the vibrations of our society and our thinking.
The work offers an entry point into exploring la condition humaine, where the paradoxes - from desire to suffering - and the absurdity of existence are exposed. This often evokes a sense of disorientation or discomfort in the viewer, who is confronted with the harsh reality of human existence in a distorted yet intriguing form.
The title is a subtle yet essential component of the work. It helps the viewer to comprehend the piece and unravel it layer by layer, entirely depending on personal need. It sometimes happens that a title is adjusted, even after the work has changed ownership. After all, reflections change, and Duffeleer sees his works as notes - sometimes pragmatic, sometimes with a touch of humor - without any aim for eternity.

En cours de route is an initiative in which Anthony Duffeleer invites various artists to briefly show together at a unique location in the Flemish Ardennes. There is no theme, no predefined format, no curator, it is a passage of artists at a location that facilitates conversations and interaction, en cours de route.
