Overburden: On Extraction And The Shape Of Things To Come

Opening 08.11.24, 18h at Greylight Project (NL)


Extraction refers to the forced removal of raw materials and life forms from the earth’s surface, depths and biosphere. A process that not only has devastatingly shaped a predicament of climate crisis but also functions as a generative logic by which we understand the world. Understanding extraction as both a material reality as well as a cultural problem brings into focus the role of art and imagination in shaping what we talk about when we talk about “nature”, “progress”, or “crisis”. And what remains outside of art’s representation, just outside the frame, or is difficult to recognize within it?

What did you expect?

24.09.24 ⟶ 05.01.25 at IKOB (BE)


In 2019, Chloé Op de Beeck spent a lot of time in Eupen for her first major solo exhibition at IKOB. During this time, she captured locations and corners of our hometown that often remain hidden from us because they are too ordinary, too familiar, or perhaps too unspectacular. Chloé Op de Beeck's film is different from what we are used to. Fast cuts and wild action do not appear in her work. Instead, she often uses fixed shots focused on slowly changing subjects. Ultimately, it is the real and everyday situations of waiting, silence, and inactivity that she elevates to aesthetically refined moments, which one enjoys watching.
