Published on the occasion of the Multitude exhibition at MIMA (Brussels), this catalogue retraces the path of Alexandre Farto, aka VHILS (b. 1987), internationally acclaimed for his unique technique of carving portraits directly into walls.
Across 64 richly illustrated pages, the book unfolds as an ode to the city and its anonymous inhabitants. It brings together images of monumental wall carvings, immersive video stills, large-scale collages, and the striking installation of “talking” satellite dishes that give voice to the multitude.
With an exclusive text by Raphaël Cruyt (artistic director of MIMA), the catalogue offers insights into Vhils’ creative process and the poetic relationship he establishes between urban space and those who inhabit it.
