Hypersculptures

In his works, Vermeulen explores the fundamentals of human perception through movement, light, vibration and sound. What does light do to our brains, how do we register movement, how does sound feel, and do we actually see what we think we see? Vermeulen's room-filling installations, which he himself calls 'hypersculptures', seem to transform before the spectator's eyes, creating a unique and enchanting experience.

Dreamy trip

A good example is the immersive installation Chasing The Dot, in which the visitor is immersed in different shades of light and suddenly sees a large, dark dot in the field of vision. A dot that is not there in reality, but appears as an afterimage on the retina. Vermeulen's work revolves around the pursuit of such elusive phenomena and the questions they raise. Can we really trust our senses? What is reality, and is it the same for everyone? The exhibition Philip Vermeulen. Chasing The Dot is a dreamy trip for both young and old. Other works in the exhibition are Pulse, Ocular Drift and Fanfanfan.
