Having originally trained as a photographer, he produced numerous self-portraits, most notably in his \u003ca href=\"https://hugoroelandt2.ensembles.org/events/hugo-roelandt-81971b49-f3ac-4b3d-8b65-78b51db18edc?item=13862\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:hsl(119,57%,31%);\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eFeelings\u003c/i\u003e series\u003c/span\u003e \u003c/a\u003e(1974) where he made exaggerated facial expressions for the camera. The significance of these works lay not just in the self-images but also the use of the body as an instrument in their making. Representation was a recurring theme in Roelandt’s philosophy. Early in his career, he developed a disdain for what he termed “Photo Photo,” which he associated with overly-serious, clichéd representations that prioritised aesthetics over experimentation. He often stated that his works did not represent anything and were not narrative, and not realistic portrayals of the world.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eAs Roelandt’s career progressed into the 1980s, he began developing what he termed as “\u003ca href=\"https://hugoroelandt2.ensembles.org/ensembles/hugo-roelandt-performance-and-post-performance?panel=475\u0026amp;subensembles=true\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:hsl(119,57%,31%);\"\u003epost-performance\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:hsl(119,57%,31%);\"\u003e.\u003c/span\u003e” This phase marked a shift away from active performance toward conceptual projects that involved machines and technology, such as telephone and answer-machine dialogues that underscored departures in theory and practice. In this time of key developments in post-modern philosophy as well as research in the field of artificial intelligence in Belgium, post-performance looked away from traditional performance and individualism, towards a systems approach that was some steps removed from the agency of the artist’s body.\u003cbr\u003eThroughout his career, Roelandt sought to deconstruct traditional notions of art. He believed that art should reflect the complexities of contemporary life and societal issues rather than adhere to aesthetic orthodoxy. Key themes in his practice included body image and gender norms, automation, and the bourgeois nature of the artistic field. Another key theme being the urban environment, as demonstrated by his key work \u003ca href=\"https://hugoroelandt2.ensembles.org/events/hugo-roelandt-81971b49-f3ac-4b3d-8b65-78b51db18edc?item=13522\u0026amp;locale=en\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:hsl(119,57%,31%);\"\u003e\u003ci\u003ePavimenti\u003c/i\u003e \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e(1987), an intervention on the façade of what is now the M HKA building. His later works emphasised the role of the audience in experiencing art, suggesting that art could be a shared, participatory experience rather than a solitary appreciation of a finished product.

Vanaf de jaren 1970 was hij een belangrijke speler in de avant-garde kunstscene van Antwerpen. Hij begon zijn carrière met optredens in de New Reform Gallery in Aalst, die bekend stond om experimentele performancekunst. Al snel groeide hij uit tot een pionier binnen dit genre. In 1981 richtte Roelandt samen met Annie Gentils de alternatieve kunstplek Montevideo op in Antwerpen en werkte hij als docent fotografie aan de Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerpen, waar hij zijn studenten op een eigenzinnige manier inspireerde (1991–2010).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0cm;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0cm;\"\u003eRoelandt liet zich nooit beperken tot één enkele stijl of vorm. Zijn werk varieerde van performances en fotoseries tot interventies in de openbare ruimte. Hij werkte samen met kunstenaars, musici en wetenschappers, zoals Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven, Narcisse Tordoir en Danny Devos, maar maakte ook uitgebreide series zelfportretten. Hoewel hij bekend werd als performancekunstenaar, bekritiseerde hij vaak de veranderingen in de performancekunst en haar toenemende focus op traditionele vormen.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0cm;\"\u003eIn de jaren 1970 verschoof Roelandts werk van fotografie naar performance. Met een opleiding in fotografie begon hij zichzelf vast te leggen in zelfportretten, vooral in zijn serie \u003ci\u003eFeelings\u003c/i\u003e (1974), waarin hij overdreven gezichtsuitdrukkingen aannam voor de camera. Deze beelden waren niet alleen zelfportretten, maar ook performances op zich. Al vroeg in zijn carrière ontwikkelde hij een afkeer voor wat hij ‘Photo Photo’ noemde – serieuze, voorspelbare foto’s die volgens hem de focus legden op schoonheid in plaats van experiment. Hij benadrukte dat zijn werk niets weergaf of een realistische voorstelling van de wereld was.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0cm;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0cm;\"\u003eIn de jaren 1980 begon Roelandt te werken aan wat hij ‘post-performance’ noemde: conceptuele projecten met machines en technologie, zoals telefoondialogen via antwoordapparaten, die speelden met theorie en praktijk. In een tijd waarin het denken over kunst én kunstmatige intelligentie in België snel veranderde, verschoof hij hiermee van traditionele performance naar een systeemgerichte benadering waarin de kunstenaar zelf niet meer centraal stond.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0cm;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0cm;\"\u003eRoelandt wilde tijdens zijn carrière de klassieke ideeën over kunst uitdagen. Voor hem moest kunst het moderne leven en maatschappelijke kwesties weerspiegelen, niet vastzitten in esthetische regels. Belangrijke thema’s in zijn werk waren onder andere lichaamsbeeld, gendernormen, automatisering en stedelijke ruimte. In zijn latere werk legde hij de nadruk op de rol van het publiek in het beleven van kunst: kunst kon volgens hem een gedeelde ervaring zijn, in plaats van een individuele appreciatie van een eindproduct. Zijn werk kreeg een elementair karakter waarin hij werkte met natuurlijke elementen zoals water, wind en licht.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0cm;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0cm;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eHet Einde is een Nieuw Begin\u003c/i\u003e is de eerste overzichtstentoonstelling van Hugo Roelandt en herdenkt tien jaar na zijn overlijden zijn indrukwekkende nalatenschap.

De betekenis van deze werken lag niet alleen in de zelfbeelden zelf, maar ook in het gebruik van het lichaam als instrument tijdens het maakproces. Representatie vormde een terugkerend thema in Roelandts denken. Al vroeg in zijn carrière ontwikkelde hij een afkeer van wat hij ‘Photo Photo’ noemde, een term waarmee hij verwees naar al te serieuze, clichématige voorstellingen die esthetiek boven experiment stelden. Hij beklemtoonde vaak dat zijn werken niets voorstelden, niet narratief waren en geen realistische weergave van de wereld boden.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:black;\"\u003eNaarmate zijn carrière in de jaren 1980 vorderde, richtte Roelandt zich op wat hij '\u003c/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://hugoroelandt2.ensembles.org/ensembles/hugo-roelandt-performance-and-post-performance?panel=475\u0026amp;subensembles=true\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:hsl(119,57%,31%);\"\u003epost-performance\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:black;\"\u003e' noemde. Deze periode markeerde een verschuiving van actieve performances naar conceptuele projecten waarin machines en technologie een centrale rol speelden, zoals telefoon- en antwoordapparaatdialogen die nieuwe richtingen in theorie en praktijk onthulden. In een periode van ingrijpende ontwikkelingen binnen de postmoderne filosofie en het onderzoek naar kunstmatige intelligentie in België, verschoof ‘post-performance’ de focus van traditionele performance en individualisme naar een systeembenadering waarin het handelingsvermogen van het lichaam van de kunstenaar enigszins werd losgelaten.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:black;\"\u003eGedurende zijn hele carrière streefde Roelandt ernaar traditionele opvattingen over kunst te deconstrueren. Hij vond dat kunst de complexiteit van het hedendaagse leven en maatschappelijke kwesties moest weerspiegelen, in plaats van zich te houden aan esthetische orthodoxie. Belangrijke thema's in zijn werk waren lichaamsbeeld en gendernormen, automatisering en de bourgeois aard van het artistieke veld.
