Alex Vermeulen Biography

Alex Vermeulen is one of the most popular and richest Photographer who was born on December 9, 1954 in Eindhoven, Eindhoven, Kingdom of the Netherlands. Born in the southern city of Eindhoven, the Netherlands, on December 9, 1954, Vermeulen is largely an autodidact, although he did study psychology, philosophy, architecture and design at the Design Academy Eindhoven before launching off on his own career in his mid-twenties. His primary early influences were film makers such as the Nouvelle Vague director Claude Chabrol and he got inspired by the obscure movie “”J’irai comme un cheval fou” (1973) by Fernando Arrabal, the absurdist movie Themroc (1973) by Claude Faraldo, the theatrical movie ‘Querelle” (1982) by Rainer Werner Fassbinder and the cinematographic fantasy world of Georges Méliès (1862–1938). Vermeulen’s fascination with films would inspire him to put a new spin on an old form – film books. Usually produced to document an existing film, Vermeulen’s versions documented imaginary films in such a way that readers often assumed they were. His visual scripts thus played with the space between reality and imagination a theme seen throughout his work. This film book projects consisting a publication containing the film story with film- stills; on these stills Vermeulen’s sculptures function as props.

In 1993 Vermeulen moved to Amsterdam and founded in 1995 “SOH-States of Humanity” and the Syndicaat foundation. A year later he presented his final film-book, as part of a large installation, Fuga Futuri, at Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum (1996). The chief character introduced in this show for the first time was the stylized humanoid “Eggy”, named after his egg-like shape. In the following fifteen years, sculptures of various forms of the enigmatic Eggy would appear in a number of projects mounted in public places around the world including New York (1996) where Vermeulen asked those who passed to select their favorite Eggy and relate it to their personal life. These interviews were edited into a 43-minute documentary film, States of Humanity. Vermeulen’s intention was to collect a numerous of “New York” stories and turn them into a screenplay for a feature film. Vermeulen used a small hi8 video camera to shoot the interviews and visuals of street life NYC. Despite his intention, Vermeulen edited the footage. “These talking heads speak for them self.” Since the film “States of Humanity” introduced the first six “Eggy” sculptures seen through the eyes of fifty-five New Yorkers, this documentary would become a key work in Vermeulen’s career. The premier was at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 1997.

Vermeulen would first achieve recognition in 1984, when the curators of the Van Abbemuseum, South Netherlands’ most prestigious modern and contemporary art museum began a long period of collaboration with the artist that would last for more than a decade. This would lead to exhibitions and purchases for their prestigious permanent collection.
