Disappearance, loneliness, and death play a significant role in the ongoing series Black Pages by Guy Vording. In the solo exhibition The End, Vording explores the period of mourning and the symbolism of mourning rituals in a new series of silkscreens. What becomes a new anchor during the period after death disrupts life? And when does the moment of despair transition into solace? Vording delved into old customs surrounding death, mourning rituals from various regions—such as eating black foods—and the meaning behind the use of color. Rituals he became familiar with during his childhood in Twente also play a role, such as the covering of mirrors. In The End, Vording gives form to this period after the end.

Prompted by a commission from the Ministry of the Interior in 2024, Guy Vording began working with a new technique for him: silkscreen printing. For this work, Vording starts with the same method as in Black Pages: he constructs his images from existing material. He then takes it a step further, cutting out the pages and reworking them as collages before transforming them into silkscreens, using a color palette that transitions from black to violet and lilac.
