De primeur is voor jullie. Mijn serie STREET DRAMA is geselecteerd voor de tentoonstelling Photo View 2008. De expo loopt o.a. in Knokke-Heist, Gent, Antwerpen, Zonhoven, Turnhout. Jullie zijn alvast uitgenodigd op de officiƫle opening in Knokke, ergens in maart of april.
I am a passionate lover of the snapshot, because of all photographic images, it comes closest to the truth. The pictures have an apparent disorder and imperfection which is exactly their appeal and their style. It is about playing with ordinary reality, using unposed actors who are oblivious to the dramatic I’ve placed them in.
In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality. On the other hand, spontanious everyday streetlife can have such a quality of real that it looks like staged. I ‘m registering moments that have a subtle comedy or tragedy to them, a touching or absurd feeling. Moments when strangers come together for a split second and are rendered inseparable through a photograph. So, it is also about creating order out of chaos.
I believe in the future transmutation of two seemingly contradictory states, dream and reality, into a sort of absolute reality, of surreality, so to speak. Into a bizarre street drama.
