- More about Build and Destroy
David De Beyter's Build and Destroy combines art and anthropology to explore the destruction of vehicles in the "Big Bangers" community, offering a fragmentary reading of this brutal culture through photographs, photograms, and family archives.
Format: Paperback / softback
Publication date: 30 April 2022
Publisher: RVB Books
David De Beyter gained acceptance and trust in the "Big Bangers" community of stock car enthusiasts between 2014 and 2020, who demolish or burn vehicles for the beauty of the gesture and the sheer nihilistic pleasure of the spectacle. Each wreck resulting from this destructive practice is called an "auto sculpture" in the community's lingo. De Beyter's immersive project thus involved a combined artistic and anthropological approach, as is evident in Build and Destroy. In its very format, the book resonates with the experience of destruction as observed by the artist and offers an aptly fragmentary reading of this brutal culture. Bringing together photographs, photograms from 16 mm lms, and extracts from family archives, Build and Destroy offers itself as a visual essay that examines the material as subject as much as it investigates the formal possibilities opened up by the materiality of images.
