Tinka Pittoors in M'ATUVU

The landscape, as a patchwork of elements dominating each other, a precariousbalance stretching out around us, composed of contradictions of both human and natural nature…
Tinka Pittoors’ sculptures and objects (°1977) arise out of this concept and examine the utopia of a world that can be moulded.By combining recognizable forms and materials with new ones, Pittoors creates in her work a language of form entirely her own, engrafted onto the one we know, in search of a parallel sculptural reality. Whereas the materials seek to connect with reality, the form actually reacts against this.
Lighting plays a significant role in this: it encompasses and defines the sculpture as it were, but at the same time underlines the autonomy of the world presented. An ambiguous image is created that balances on the verge of reality. Pittoors’ introvert “landscape proposals” suggest a renewed view of landscape architecture, an artificial approach on the implantation of green zones. Whether they are utopian or dystopic proposals is left aside by Pittoors.
The question remains for us: is the temptation of the image really inhabitable?
