Flirting with sound, sculpture and (pseudo-)science, the installations of Filip Henri Decoster evoke a sense of chaotic poetry and melancholic intimacy. Using the world around him, he distils a language in which ‘time’ and ‘process’ are central. His work is often derived from experiments, or relates to his childhood memories and dream-like imagery. Through the reclaiming of old materials, he explores human histories and how they have shaped the world around us, and how they could shape the world still to come.
