Early Morning in the Universe

Daems van Remoortere
After completing their permanent installation Meetingpoint at the new prison in Brussels and Sundance, presented at M HKA during Museum Games—where they explored the cycles of the sun and the seasons—Daems van Remoortere now turn their focus to the solar maximum with their new solo exhibition Early Morning in the Universe. This eleven-year turning point, during which solar activity will reach its peak in July 2025, serves as a central theme.
This peak marks the flip of the sun’s magnetic field and functions as an astronomical zero point for the exhibition.
From this ‘cosmic zero point’, they raise questions about how power and narratives shape, distort, and leave traces in history—and what might remain of these in the future.
Like a cosmic Groundhog Day, they explore the possibility of a reset—while retaining all accumulated knowledge.
Early Morning in the Universe runs from May 29 (Antwerp Art Weekend) to July 5, 2025 at PONTI, Antwerp, and aligns both scientifically and chronologically with this astronomical turning point
