Elise Eeraerts

Elise Eeraerts was born in Mechelen, Belgium, in 1986, and lives and works in Antwerp.

Elise Eeraerts creates sculptures that sit between installation and architectural construction. In all her projects, she establishes a link between her works and their environment through the materials she uses and a participatory approach.

At Atelier Calder, Eeraerts created an in situ work entitled Recursives Volumes, consisting of an architectural structure made of clay from the Saché region, accompanied by a series of objects of the same shape, also made of clay but reduced to one-tenth the size. The title refers to a recurring action and questions the notion of series in the context of artistic production. Eeraerts also questions the notion of scale by juxtaposing two objects of the same shape: one unique and monumental, the other its multiplication in miniature.
