he famous sci-fi series of the 50s, including the cult sequels, lend its title to the curated booth presentation that MAMA brings you at Year07 Artfair. There's a specific twist in the works of the artists on show, a curiosity for the darker points in life or what lies beyond, that acts as the lead.

Gert-Jan Akerboom is best known for his large-scale drawings and installations. In his work traditional Christian allegorical imagery about transcendence, death myths and transformation are mixed up in a convoluted language that takes in the world of subculture Gothic and street art.

Jan van Nuenen meticulously composed animations show his fascination with destruction and creativity, more specifically with Man's dealings with technology and with Mother Nature itself.

Aram Tanis work is bare, whatever object he puts in front of his camera. All of his images show or at least suggest a sense of un-belonging, dislocation and environmental alienation.

Nick Ervinck explores various mediums in an attempt to fragment the mental image and to question the use and the perception of constructive elements like material, proportions, space, color, texture and volume.
