Meet The Captain

The world of Captain Bebop is inhabited by numerous strange but also recognisable creatures and characters. They take spectators into their story and guide them into a spectacle that feels at once bizarre and very familiar. For the Captain, things are just the way they are. He brings together various highly recognisable elements into a coherent whole. The design process is a constant probing between form and image.

Through Captain Bebop, Raf Roefflaer (1980) has been sharing a piece of his mind with his surroundings for more than 15 years. He constructs everything he makes from images and memories from his own environment. He wants to drag people into his own imaginary world and use images to create a dialogue.
