Ruben Bellinkx (1975, lives and works in Brussels) creates, in his films, drawings and scale models, conditions for strange encounters between living and inanimate elements of very different natures. He is interested in blurring boundaries and creates performances that push against the limits of the impossible. Each piece immerses the viewer in strange situations that are surprising, meaningful and often contain an existential drama. Ruben Bellinkx exposes unequal relationships and mechanisms of conditioning and domestication.
