Christoph Fink (Ghent, °1963) has been working on his 'Atlas of Movements for many years, exploring the borders of the human body and its interaction with its surroundings. This takes the form of detailed accounts of his travels, photographs, sound recordings, etc. which the artist then turns into experimental exhibitions such as space-filling cartographic and acoustic constructions consisting of drawings, diagrams, tables and layers of sound. Fink thus presents an alternative world view in which he calls into question the relationship between the various elements around us.
The exhibition is being mounted in association with the K.U.Leuven to mark the anniversary of Mercators birth (1512-1594). The Arenberg campus library is drawing on its own collections to show twenty maps dating from the seventeenth century to the present day.
