Mail art covers a vast territory, fanning out from its very beginnings in the late fifties. In this universe,
the mailart correspondence by Belgian artists Sjoerd Paridaen and Hans van Heirseele started on December 31, 1996 and made a distinct mark. Sjoerd Paridaen and Hans van Heirseele chart a complex world, far beyond the formalities of mail art. Paridaen's interest in mailart dates from the early eighties. At first he had many correspondents. Only later became his involvement with Hans van Heirseele - a search for the roots and remains of modernism, blasphemic but also beautiful and witty - a major mailart project.
KAUZALE SUZAMMENHANGE is a series based on photographs from newspapers. The usual scheme is (a) a picture chosen by Hans van Heirseele and (b) the picture completed by Sjoerd Paridaen. Some of the pictures involved a nursing to and fro.
The main subject of the series is hands and gestures.
