What can an unfinished play become in a painting?
For Rein Dufait (b.1990, Belgium), Woyzeck by Georg Büchner (1813–1837) is the starting point for a series of fifteen canvases. Between the written word and the painted form, a space opens in which Büchner’s work can continue to think. His protagonist lives under the pressure of forces beyond his control. In Dufait’s work, this tension can be approached through the act of making itself: each intervention changes the whole, each addition opens one possibility and closes another.
‘Woyzeck’ can be read as a question about what holds something upright—and what forces reshape it. How much can a body, a material, a structure withstand? Between intervening and letting things happen, a form emerges that could have been otherwise.
