This unique artist's book is the culmination of Hans Op de Beeck's long-term project "Sea of tranquillity". The ambitious publication includes film stills, texts, sculptures, watercolours and even a soundtrack (sung by Sandrine). In his familiar pictorial style - mildly surreal and resolutely critical - the artist confronts us with a large-scale but fictional luxury cruiser.

The original works measure from 2.5 to 5 metres across and deal with both classical and contemporary themes. In many cases they are poetic scenes depicting mysterious night-time locations, sometimes populated by anonymous people. In common with his entire oeuvre, the mood of the image is the prominent feature. This luxurious, large-format book, published in a limited edition of 800 copies, brings ...
"Over the past decade Hans Op de Beeck has become established as one of the most exciting young artists on the international art scene. His work covers an astonishing spectrum ranging from installation art and sculpture, to video, photography and drawing." "On Vanishing is the result of a collaboration between the artist and the authors Nicolas de Oliveira and Nicola Oxley. The authors' text builds other matter around the artist's work, creating an ambiguous space crisscrossed by different paths that contain obstacles, deviations and detours."--BOOK JACKET.
