Harold Lechien (1995) is a Belgian artist who lives and works in Brussels. Through modular installations combining sculpture, video, images and manufactured objects, his work questions contemporary forms of staging and the visual narratives that shape our perception of reality. By sampling, transforming and recomposing signs from industry, he explores commodity fetishism and the mechanisms by which products, advertising discourse and communication technologies capture our emotions and convert them into commodities. His works articulate a visual and narrative style that draws as much on the codes of design and commercial scenography as on those of cinema and advertising. Using fiction as a tool for critical analysis, he stages environments in which signs, objects and bodies re-enact the logic of consumption and the spectacle. Since 2018, his work has been shown in several institutions and exhibitions in Belgium and abroad, including ISELP (Brussels), Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles (Paris), DMW Gallery (Antwerp) and the TRANSMEDIALE festival (Berlin).
