Installation at The Erasmus house Brussels March-June 2022 (Group show)


The spread of Erasmus' ideas was only possible because of the invention of the printing press. The printer/publisher played an enormously important role. Printers worked closely with Erasmus, who often lived with them for months at a time. Yet Erasmus' work also ended up being burned at the stake.


Sander de Wilde worked with themes such as reproduction, burning, fire, ashes, transience, durability, types of paper, print runs, the printer's mark, friendship and humour.



Ets (zink) 7 x 10 cm.

Formaat Zerkall 210 gr. in resin (10 x 15 cm )

Ashes and charcoal 30x 40 cm.


Inspired on the printer's mark of Aldus Manutius De Wilde placed his own printer's mark partly burnt and in resin  in the ashes of the chimney at the original Erasmus house in Brussels for one month.

GENES 2022 installation

VID_20220211_133251.mp4

This installation was first shown in  February 2022. 

It is a combination of a projection and painting. Sander painted over posters with symbolic and nostalgic meaning he received.

After researching his family tree for 15 years and having a tree of over 15.000 People, a large part proven by DNA Research, he made a projection of 40 of his ancestors, animated by Deep Nostalgia AI Software. 

An artificial intelligence  program that can use images of persons, be it photographs or paintings, and brings them back to live.



The video was being projected on a white curtain,  that on itself was hanging in front of a painted tree of 2X 3 Meters, consisting of old posters.


Another nostalgic poster was placed opposite of the work, also being reworked in acrylic paint.

5000 people visited the expo and were astounded by the movements of the dead  persons on the curtain, some opened it to see the painted life tree on old posters behind.

Bye Bye


This expo is a short view on his work made in 2018:  Copper etchings made by re-using his photojournalistic work.

De Wilde uses street photographs, journalistic photographs, found footage and even corporate work as beginning for new graphic work. He works on transparencies, paints and scratches on them, puts them on a copper plate with a photographic emulsion, and prints it in very small editions.


Around the Bitcoin and NFT Meta world.

Fascinated by Bitcoin and the Art revolution concerning the sales of NFT on platforms as Open Sea and Rare.io Sander started to dive into reworking nft works into new physical works.
