About this artwork
In "Displacement," I explore how visual order becomes unstable when multiple spatial planes overlap. A field of parallel lines initially creates structure and orientation, but is interrupted by a second, curved form. From this encounter emerges a pictorial space in which orientation is not unambiguous, but constantly shifts.
I'm interested in how solid lines begin to slip and stable surfaces show subtle deviations. Light plays a central role in… this: it defines the linear order, but at the same time softens its edges and allows the curved form to oscillate between conformity and disruption.
The photograph is created as a single exposure in the camera, without any subsequent manipulation. Thus, it remains tied to a specific observation, yet opens itself up as an abstract construction. The image questions how order is perceived at all—and how easily it can be disrupted by light, perspective, and surface.

Marcel van Beek works with photography, painting, and graphic design, drawing on his artistic background from his studies at the Alanus University of Art and Social Sciences. His technique combines pictorialist influences with romantic-symbolist imagery. His photographs embody contemporary fine art photography and conceptual photography, often featuring monochrome recolors in tertiary colors.
He creates a poetic visual language interested in forms and structures, combining this with a modern, conceptual approach that claims social relevance. In his works, he explores inner and outer landscapes, conveying feelings of longing and threat, as well as a fascination with the hidden. He has published various art publications (most recently "World of Water," 2025), which are represented internationally in academy and museum libraries (including Vienna, Basel, Düsseldorf, and Berlin).
