벨기에 태생의 예술가 Jan De Cock은 1월 23일부터 4월 14일까지 미국에서 첫번째 전시를 갖는다. 뉴욕의 모마에서 그는 플로어에서 천장까지 닿는 큰 사이즈의 사진과 조각 설치미술을 선보인다.


그이 설치미술의 타이틀은 Denkmal인데 이는 독일말이며 기념비라는 뜻을 갖는다. 그러나 작가의 고향인 플랑드르 말로는 두가지 뜻을 내포한다. denk는 생각을 mal은 틀을 의미한다. Jan De Cock에게 denkmal은 생각의 틀이란 의를 갖는다. Denkmal 11에서 숫자 11은 뮤지엄의 주소인 11 West 53 Street에서 따왔다. 이 전시는 Jan De Cock에세 미국편 오디세이의 출발점인 셈이다.

작가는 한 장면을 두개의 카메라로 두개의 다른 앵글에서 담는다. 그리하여 사진과 몽타쥬(합성)사진이라는 결과물을 창조해낸다. 왼쪽과 오른쪽 프레임에 담긴 이미지들을 통해 같은 하나의 이미지에 두가지의 투시를 담아낸다.

그는 의문한다. "가장 중요한 무엇이 남았는가? 이미지? 아니면 관찰하는 태도인가?"
