The work by Louis De Cordier (Ostend, Belgium 1978) can be interpreted in multiple ways. His work is a mixture of architecture, nature, art, technique and science . His modules and installations are strongly linked to nature. Each module is a place to live in, to survive in while being protected from the outside world and the elements. The modules can be transported to another place, just like in nature some animals carry their house.
'Today, we no longer live ‘in’ space. Instead, space seems to be travelled through rather than inhabited. We are always on the road. Movement and mobility seem to have become conditions of being. At the same time, we have become walking transmitters and receptors. We move and appear to exist simultaneously in several spaces, to be created by the use of the Internet and mobile phones. We are in fact everywhere at the same time. My sculptures are places for resting, means for moving us through this dynamic and chaotic space. To me, they reflect the uprooting of the body, a body with nothing to hold on to, a body broken free, wandering endlessly around in an ever-changing space.' [Louis De Cordier]
