The Origin of Painting is a key work in Disinformation's oeuvre, a literally impressive sound and light installation which allows visitors to make an impression of their silhouette. This work not only refers to the myths associated to the creation of painting, but also to the atomic shadows on the walls of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

“A dark writing was born. A secret writing, written in the dark, with darkness itself. In the atomic night and on the human surface, a dark, corporeal surface appeared.” (Akira Mizuta Lippit)

The Origin of Painting is a part of Night Vision, an evening at Vooruit where performance, film and installation meet. More info on Night Vision here.

Visiting this installation is free on THU 18.03, 19:00-23:00 ...
