Part manifesto, part intellectual inquiry, ‘NADA’ brings together two volumes of Belgian artist Thierry De Cordier’s reflections on his eponymous painting series, born from an act of erasure: the symbolic annihilation of the crucifixion image. It traces an evolving inquiry into absence, memory, and the sublime. Through personal recollections and philosophical musings, De Cordier examines the paradox of nothingness: how the removal of an image can evoke something beyond absence. Wrestling with the necessity of discussing his own work, he questions the weight of religious symbolism, the limitations of interpretation, and the pursuit of an art that seeks to move beyond representation.
