The work of Frank Halmans (1963) takes place in the border area between waking and sleeping. In the slumber area of staring, dreaming and musing. It is the area where the wealth of space in the head can be optimally used. Many of his works feature everyday objects and parts of architecture. The function or form of this can lead to exaggeration or distortion of meaning. Sometimes the objects even take on human qualities and seem to be animated with a will of their own. Despite this theme of the fleeting and elusive, Halmans' images are sometimes very physically present. They are therefore concrete places or starting points. They are the physical starting point of a mental wandering.
