"But behind the windows that Wim Bosch places on top of one another like transparencies, there is no autonomous world. Behind each window is the next window, ad infinitum. There is nothing behind them. Not just that; there is nothing in front of them either. The endless rows of panes of glass, one behind the other, that Wim Bosch presents to us also reflect. That ought to mean that at least the front pane shows the reflection of the photographer or spectator. It does not. Conclusion: not only is there no point of arrival behind the panes – in an interior or in a landscape – but there is no real world either in front of the first pane where I am situated. The window panes probably continue in an endless series behind my back. That makes me a transparent ghost between the panes of glass with the job of determining my own position or solving the riddle of my existence by reading the clues provided..."

"By comparison, the metaphorical space that Wim Bosch conjures up in his photographs would be the hyperspace of a purely semiotic universe, capable of being interpreted in many ways but volatile, never material. However, that is another of the terrible not dones or non-positions in the work he presents. That is why Bosch’s world is full of texture: human hair, lace curtains, fleshy plants. The materiality of the world emerges from every pore. Flesh is not beyond the horizon, but is manifest within the frames and proliferates there. There is no subject – nobody at home –, no object – no landing place anywhere –, but there is sensitive incarnation, albeit explicitly mediated incarnation! Not pure benchmark, but technologically mediated antennae that find a way through the cracks of the hyperspace in search of a foothold.Never a homecoming. Wim Bosch’s work is definitively situated in an in-between world, and we can expect little else either..."
