THE MAN FROM TOLLUND
In 1962, Serge Vandercam discovered 'the Man of Tollund' in a local museum near Silkeborg, an exceptionally well-preserved mummy of a man from the Neolithic period, who had been sacrificed about 2,000 years earlier and was found in a local bog in 1950.
Serge Vandercam was fascinated by this mummy, which would henceforth form an essential part of his creative world. Thanks to the Tollund Man, Vandercam immersed himself in the world of figurative art. In 1963, this led to an exhibition of the same name in the Galerie Delta in Rotterdam. His friend Hugo Claus wrote a long, epic poem for it, which sings the tragedy of a sacrificed man who henceforth forms the inseparable bond between life, suffering and death, to ultimately be reborn as a better person.
