Gerard Cevaal: Director


The debate will be in Dutch

14-02-10 / Zutphen / Houtmarkt 64

Group exhibition of artists whom are all working with the esthetics of the virtual World

In this exposition I will show several new pieces which shed new perspectives on my work.

“Robert Overweg sees the computergame as a direct expansion of his surroundings and steps into these worlds with his virtual camera ready to shoot. He acts the same as a regular photographer walking in a normal landscape. Within several existing games he looks around and seeks corners, details and situations which he captures and shows to the public

The work of Overweg is not just about the border between real and virtual but also asks interesting questions about copyright. Overweg claims a creative choice in a world which he sees as his own, while these worlds originate from the creativity of others. “

In the classic building of the Luxor theatre a new exposition just opend with my streetphotography of the virtual world.
