Ton Zwerver works with different media ranging from photography and collage to more or less traditional sculpture techniques. Time is a recurring factor in his artistic practice, which is based on an ongoing process through which existing works are continuously transformed to take on new meaning. In his series of “Everyday Sculptures”, for instance, Zwerver documents ephemeral moments or encounters. These sculptures only exist for a short while, before they are photographed and once again modified. In his most recent project (and upcoming book entitled the unkown), the artist investigates the notions of meaning, time and place by rearranging and recontextualising existing imagery. The individual works are progressively woven into a wider narrative, according to the idea that the process of thinking consists of intertwining single strands of thought. (Prof. Dr. Ben A.M.
