Pol Bury (1922-2005) was a painter, sculptor, jewelry designer, writer, and graphic artist, but is perhaps best known to the general public for his fountains and sculpture in public spaces throughout the world. Acclaimed as one of the first proponents of "moving" works, driven by a motor, he became one of the protagonists of kinetic art and was without doubt one of Belgium's most important postwar artists. Accompanying a major exhibition in Belgium, this publication presents an opportunity to rediscover Bury's multifaceted oeuvre.

Standing in the tradition of Herman Dooyeweerd's philosophy of the cosmosnomic idea, Mekkes, guided by the method of transcendental critique and rooted in the reality of the cross, ventures into discussions with Heidegger, Sartre, and Jaspers.
