Patrick Vandecasteele explores the physical, psychological and social posture of humans, the various costumes they wear to dress their intimate hiatuses. He tries to restore the spontaneity of human posture, its fleetingness, the unconscious that inhabits a body and its outfit, the links between composure and thoughts, gestures and intentions, mental melee.
He paint our struggle to face others, to approach others, the struggle between our multiple intimacies, between our imperative of life in society, of submission to servitudes and the imperative need for autonomy, individuality.
