In his internationally acclaimed work, Rinus Van de Velde (b. 1983) creates a parallel universe in which elements of reality and the imagination are fused into a unique form of visual storytelling. He takes us on a journey through his imagination, a place that transcends time and space, where all encounters are possible, and every path can be walked.


This book presents a circular narrative of departure and return, using the metaphor of a train, and offers an overview of Van de Velde’s most recent works. It enters into a dialogue with the work of modern and contemporary artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Joseph Cornell, Fischli/Weiss, Joan Mitchell, Claude Monet, Monster Chetwynd, Laure Prouvost, Josephine Troller and Jean Tinguely.
