Thibeau Scarcériau
Ouroboros
11–20 December 2026
Ouroboros marks the first solo exhibition of artist and designer Thibeau Scarcériaux in Antwerp.
More than ten years ago, Scarcériaux found a 4.5-metre-long shed snake skin. Without knowing why, he decided to preserve it. Now, during a period of profound personal transformation, this forgotten object has become the starting point for a new body of work.
Taking its name from the ancient symbol of a serpent consuming its own tail, Ouroboros explores the continuous cycle of endings, transformation and renewal.
Through glass, light and sculpture, Scarcériaux reflects on the fragile relationship between holding on and letting go.
At the centre of the exhibition, a circular sculpture representing the shed snake skin, illuminated from within by neon, enters into dialogue with monumental glass compositions that reinterpret the skin through opposing contrasts of black and white.
The exhibition becomes a personal reflection on identity, loss and the necessity of leaving behind what no longer serves us.
Sometimes, in order to grow, we must leave behind the very things that once defined us.
