Pedro Bakker

Description

Monografie toont werk van de Nederlandse kunstenaar Pedro Bakker (Wervershoof 1952). - Behind every door is a story. What if the battle between good and evil gains a face? What if it is waged in your mother's face, the personification of love itself? And what if the paternalistic state gets involved? As gripping as a dramatic family novel, this book unfolds as a hybrid between an autobiographical and cultural-political quest. Pedro Bakker thoughtfully illustrates the dangerous tension between love, power and powerlessness. In figurative reflections on human relationships, political relations and his own life, he tries to come to grips with our involvement in questions of guilt and innocence, precisely where the line demarcating the two becomes tremulous
