Over het dramatisch smelten van gletsjers

In 1674 kwam het ijs helemaal beneden aan de voet van een dorpje in het

Zwitserse Aletschgebied. De mensen, bang voor hun bestaan, hielden

katholieke rituelen om de hemelen te verzoeken tot het stoppen van het

groeien van de gletsjers. Midden 1800 was de piek, de gletsjer op haar

grootst, daarna begon het terugtrekken van het ijs. Nu smelt de

Aletschgletscher, de grootste en langste van de Alpen, zo hard dat zij

over 70 jaar verdwenen zal zijn. 70 Jaa...

In the 17th century, the citizens of Oberammergau made a covenant with God. If he halted the plague, they would reenact The Passion of Christ every ten years for eternity. When the deaths ceased, in 1634, the villagers fulfilled their promise and the first Passion Play was staged. Regine Petersen’s (DE) combination of image and text takes as its starting point Adolf Hitler’s attendance of Oberammergau’s tricentennial Jubilee in 1934. Her narrative unfolds on two levels: that of the worl...

The majestic fantasy world of photographer-artist Sanja Marušić

Intriguing self-portraits, desolate landscapes and vibrant colours: the Dutch-Croatian artist Sanja Marušić (°1991) creates new worlds with her images. She travels to the four corners of the globe, but just as easily she uses her own living room as a backdrop. Recurring themes are escapism, the relationship between man and nature, motherhood, and finding the balance in human relationships.

Marušić’s artistic practice is ...

In the summer before the passing of Belgian artist Raoul De Keyser in 2012, Jef Van Eynde photographed the famous artist’s last studio setup. The works in this setup were intended for an exhibition at David Zwirner, which ended up taking the title of “The Last Wall”, taking after the name of Jef Van Eynde’s photographic series and publication.

Now, eleven years later, Jef Van Eynde went back to photograph Raoul De Keyser's studio and compiled them into this new series titled “Vesti...

Cowboys zijn onlosmakelijke verbonden met het mythische Amerikaanse Westen dat we kennen uit geschiedenisboeken, maar meer nog uit de talloze films, televisieseries, (strip)boeken en reclamespots vol revolverhelden. Daar is ‘de Cowboy’ het symbool van vrijheid, moed en mannelijkheid.

'European Cowboy' van fotograaf Bjorn Staps toont echter een hechte gemeenschap van jonge rodeo cowboys in West-Europa. Deze jonge mannen beoefenen het gevaarlijkste onderdeel van de klassieke (Amerikaanse) r...
