Political journalist and essayist Jef Lambrecht (Avelgem, 1948 – Anvers, 2016) was also a conceptual artist who applied himself to drawing, painting and performance. His work as an editor of articles and books, as well as correspondent for the VRT, led him to a formal development of the language of (radio) broadcasting and publication. Over the course of his career, mail art became his preferred method of communication. Using letters, newspapers and different media, the artist cultivated a poetic confusion around truth and authenticity, which entailed the diffusion of complex and questionable stories involving fakes and forgeries.
