Laurianne Bixhain

Mars

(Publication) 

A key image: ornamental cabbages in a flower purse. Naturally precious and fragile, flowers are here associated with the rationalization of distribution. The gap between the floral motif and its industrialization testifies to an obsolete relationship with the world and its resources. The bringing together of human figures and minerals questions our approach to what makes life, and links the slowness of the transformation of stones to the topicality, the technique and the modeling of the real.

Eric Chenal 

Hôtel Wolfers

(Publication, création) 

 

Spring 2013, discovery of the Wolfers house, commissioned in Ixelles in 1929 by Henry Van de Velde, occupied since 1977 by the doctor-radiologist and conceptual art collector Herman Daled. Other photographic tours followed for several years in the heart of this extraordinary dwelling. 2019, I photographed for the last time the play of light in the service staircase of this house, five resulting images manifest themselves as the perfect subject for a color gravure printing project.

Cristina Dias de Magalhães 

Instincts. Same but different

(Publication) 

Instincts. Same but different reads like a diary through which Cristina Dias de Magalhães visually and emotionally deciphers her family environment. Fascinated by the native bond with and between her twin daughters, she detaches herself from her self-portraits to rediscover the moments linked to early childhood through their gaze: the joy of living, the exploration of the environment, the discovery of oneself and the relationships with others.

Lisa Kohl

PUSHBACK

(Création)

The PUSHBACK project is a visual reflection on the landscape and the path of man. My plans are to continue my research through the mediums of photography, video and sound on the territories which revolve around the themes of the border, flight and exclusion. In search of new encounters, exchanges and testimonies, I would like to go to transition zones with a view to exploring and conceiving the complexity of these places.

Anne Speltz

I want to live like a human

(Création) 

I Want to Live Like A Human is an attempt to change the media representation of migrants. The project will deal with 4 European migration "hotspots" and the people who are passing through them. Descriptive images of inhuman places face portraits of migrants as well as the written expressions of their hopes and dreams. Through the means of a documentary and calm visual language, the theme of migration will be approached from a more human point of view.
