Dirk Zoete recently developed a series of hanging figures. They are made of simple materials, a pair of rubber boots, PVC tube, metal strips, wool and a face of cast plaster. With these dead materials Zoete brings the statue to life. They are reminiscent of the stylized figures of Malevich, but they are also connected with rituals, processions and the tradition of the carnavalesque, where people adorn themselves with costumes and masks to defy reality.
