In his work a bigger question concerning the meaning and purpose of our existence lies hidden. In the series of drawings called Hail St. Claire<\/em>, Kim Hospers elevated the medium of television to the level of a pseudo religion, and in Narcissistic Tendencies\u00a0<\/em>he depicted himself in reality TV shows or movie stills. Over the past year and a half,\u00a0he has been working on the series Esse Est Percipi #Whatever<\/em>.
\nThe title meaning:\u00a0to be is to be perceived\u00a0<\/em>refers to a statement by the 18th-century philosopher George Berkeley who argued that things can only exist through the perception of human beings. For the series Hospers makes drawings of so-called pranks\u00a0<\/em>: photographs published on the internet of drunken, sleeping people adorned with make-up, food or objects to ridicule them.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]George Berkeley’s statement is thus interpreted in a cynical way. Kim Hospers preceives this embarassing exposure in a positive manner though. All victims are equally ridiculous and therefore also equally valuable.\u00a0Typical for the Esse Est Percipi #whatever<\/em> drawings is Hospers\u2019 time-consuming and extremely virtuoso technique
\nthat is in stark contrast with the transitory character of the photos on social media.
\nIn the exhibition twelve boxes, each with twelve small-sized drawings, that are all methodically numbered, are displayed in rows on the wall, together with a number of medium and large sized drawings. Also exhibited is a collection of small sculptures of saints, heroes and stars that are painted white and covered with insulting texts in golden letters. This not only ridicules the heroes and saints, but also restores them to human proportions: freed from the heroic status history has imposed on them.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
