With Back-up Rosseel presents a series of new works dealing with his fascination with our memory and the relationship of this to the formation of images by the media.

Trilogy
For the first time in the Netherlands, the results of this are brought together in the solo exhibition Back-up. An exceptional exhibition process, involving the artist creating new work which he then develops further over a period of a year and a half and then presents at three successive exhibitions, each one with a different focus. These exhibitions will be held in de Brakke Grond in Amsterdam (focus media), Museum Dr. Guislain in Ghent (focus psyche) and Stroom Den Haag in The Hague (focus politics).
