D.D. Trans' 'Sur Place' at Loom Gallery in Milan
Loom Gallery in Milan presents 'Sur Place', a solo exhibition by Belgian artist D.D. Trans (born Tielt, 1963; lives in Antwerp). The show is a series of visual puzzles made from common materials, exploring how simple forms can carry layered meanings. A key work, 'Heart (noir)', consists of two plastic zip ties forming a heart that can only be separated by breaking them. The exhibition humorously challenges assumptions about everyday objects and their arrangement on white walls.
