Alice De Mont

Alice De Mont creates characters, props and sculptures, which she then uses in an installation, setting or film. In her work De Mont makes distinction between human - and anthropomorphic characters. The characters, props and sculptures are categorized in series, according to a made-up system. For example, props that have arisen from the creation of a scenography, are classified as: filmsculpturen. The characters and sculptures are established in a process of ongoing conflict between: conceptual and visual characteristics, idea and elaboration, reason and imagination, reality and fiction. The characters are often tormented souls who in their discourse, reflect on the significance and meaning of their existence. Each element has the potential to change shape or to be recycled into new work.
