LIVIL’s work is characterized by the combination of image and text, the immanent, associative richness of which the artist exploits to the fullest.
Starting point of LIVIL’s work are often a group photos depicting individuals in a family, in a company or other such social setting.
The artwork “rite of passage”, he will show in The PerfektBox is a group of students that graduated from an Elite university. A rite of passage is a ritual event that marks a person's transition from one status to another.
LIVIL’s work brings to light the ambivalence inherent in all social groups. On the one hand, the yearning to be part of a community; on the other hand, knowing that being part of a community programs our personal behavior in the long run. Communities forge identities; therefore we must be made consciously aware of the mechanisms by which this happens.
