Gilles Hellemans  
is a Brussels based visual artist and performer.

His multidisciplinary work takes shape through
site-specific walks and observations of architecture, public space, and furniture.

He immerses himself in the urban landscape, searching for the boundaries between personal visual attraction and an inherent sense of alienation.

This manifests in performances, installations, video works, drawings, paintings and publications.

He developed an intuitive methodology, “Always Stuff”, for navigating these landscapes and addressing the feeling of detachment within prevalent conformity narratives.

The method serves as a means of cultivating a personalized sense of belonging and permission to perform amidst generic neoliberal structures.

These motives shape his site-specific practice by reassembling architectural and site-specific elements, permitting other readings.
