Guillaume Bijl (1946, lives and works in Antwerp) has been known since the 1970s for his large-scale installations for which he uses found objects. With this, Bijl took a pioneering role in the reintroduction of the ready-made. He shows the viewer various aspects of our Western 'civilisation' and consumer society. He creates an 'archaeology of our time' using stereotypes in a tragicomic, alienating way. Guillaume is represented in the Netherlands by Lumen Travo Gallery.
