Tekst achterflap

• The first monograph on Philip Vermeulen’s multisensory hypersculptures


• Essays by leading figures from the international art scene


• Tracing a lineage from ZERO to immersive art through Vermeulen’s kinetic and light-based practice

This first monograph on Philip Vermeulen, a key voice in the Dutch art scene today, presents an extensive overview of his immersive practice.

His hypersculptures – kinetic installations combining light, sound, movement and vibration – operate at the limits of perception, producing sensory environments that are both disorienting and captivating.

The book situates Vermeulen’s work within a lineage that extends from ZERO and Op Art to contemporary experiential art. Essays by Margriet Schavemaker, Margot Mottaz and Kathelin Gray are complemented by a conversation with Louise Bjeldbak Henriksen, offering a deeper understanding of the artist’s creative process.

Together, these contributions shed light on the artist’s practice and the technical and conceptual dimensions of his work.
