Not every solution is an answer to a problem. A new volume of witty, absurd, and at times hilarious hands-on solutions for our everyday environment. The Brussels-based German artist David Helbich started collecting Belgian Solutions in 2006: he made photos of the peculiar and sometimes hilarious, no-nonsense solutions that he spotted in his daily surroundings. Once he started to share his photos online on social network platforms in 2009 the project grew rapidly, with contributions posted by Belgian Solution spotters from around the world. In 2013 he published his first collection of photos, a sequel followed in 2015 and now he brings us a third volume of absurd and hilarious solutions, bound in a beautiful linen softcover.
Conceptual artist David Helbich (1973) was born in Berlin and has been living in Brussels since 2002. He studied composition and philosophy in Freiburg and in Amsterdam and has created various projects as sound, installation, and performance artist and street photographer.
