Alex Mirutziu's First Belgian Solo Exhibition Explores Communication Gaps

Alex Mirutziu (born 1981 in Sibiu, Romania) presents his first solo exhibition in Belgium at Galerie Marie-Laure Fleisch in Brussels. The show features sculptures and drawings that deconstruct the thoughts and image of philosopher Iris Murdoch, who developed Alzheimer's in her later years. Mirutziu draws on Derrida's concept of "différance" to explore the gap between speech and meaning, and how physical ailments like Murdoch's force reliance on bodily gestures and facial expressions. The exhibition includes the medium-length film "Dignity to the unsaid" (2017), set in an elevator where three characters reflect on subjective experience and meta-expressive communication through alternating silence.
