Description

Brussels (Belgium), 23 Oct (EFE), (Camera: Leo Rodriguez).- The House of European History hosts from this Saturday an exhibition that makes a chronological journey through the Old Continent from the prism of the fakes and imitations, and shows, through more than 200 pieces, the existence of hoaxes from antiquity to the crisis of the Covid-19. The exhibition, called "Fake for Real", starts with a wall of mirrors that reflects a Trojan horse that progressively mutates into a code that represents a Trojan computer virus.FOOTAGE OFART AND STATEMENTS BY ROCÍO DEL CASAR, HEAD MANAGER OF THE COLLECTION IN THE HOUSE OF EUROPEAN HISTORY.TRANSLATIONS: "This is an exposition on fakes from a historical point of view.It is also very relevant for us that our audience can acquire the mechanisms and guidelines to discover what is the truth behind each ad.Well, we have exhibited around 235/240 pieces of which many are part of our own collection and the rest we have brought from museums and institutions from throughout Europe."

    Brussels, Sep 18 (EFE) .- (Camera: Leo Rodríguez) Confusion, shame, strangeness and, sometimes, even fear is what brings together the more than 40 works in the exhibition "Ceci n'est pas un corps "('This is not a body'), which brings together the great masters of hyperrealist culture in one of the capitals of surrealism, Brussels.FOOTAGE OF THE EXHIBITION.SOUNDBITES OF EMILIE DEROM, COMMUNICATION DIRECTOR OF THE EXHIBITION.Translation:"Hyper-realistic artists turn their backs on abstraction. They try to get a very detailed representation of nature and, therefore, of the human body.As you can see behind me, some sculptures give the feeling that they are real people. The visitor is very confused. Am I dealing with a real body or a fake body? All the details are there. The contours, the textures, the hair and the nails, it is very disturbing." "Hyper-realistic artists still want to convey a message. So all these sculptures carry a certain message." "In 2008 he found himself in a difficult situation, which is why he finally represents the loss of control he had over his own body. Situations without perspectives and that is the interesting thing about hyperrealist artists, there is a message behind it."
