Jacques Sonck est un artiste discret et introverti qui dresse un portrait très authentique de notre société. Chacun d'entre nous peut se retrouver devant son objectif. Des apparences physiques les plus banales aux profils les plus singuliers, tous les sexes, toutes les couleurs de peau, toutes les tailles, toutes les religions, des timides aux plus conscients, tous ressentent en même temps ce moment de force. Les portraits de Jacques Sonck sont le fruit de rencontres dans la rue, sans autre forme de rendez-vous. Jacques Sonck met ses sujets à l'aise. Il a ce don humain rare de pouvoir aborder des inconnus et de leur demander de s'ouvrir pour être filmés. Ces rencontres, furtives et vraies, s'épanouissent dans des tirages gélatino-argentiques particuliers. Cette nouvelle publication a été initiée par Jean-Michel Meyers (également concepteur graphique du livre) qui a eu l'idée de se concentrer sur un aspect de l'œuvre riche de Sonck, en l'occurrence les paires. Toutes sortes de paires : couples, amis, jumeaux, parents, frères et sœurs, mais en fin de compte, le lien qui les unit n'a pas vraiment d’importance. Dans ce livre, nous cherchons à savoir ce qui lie exactement les deux individus, nous sommes secrètement fascinés par les vrais jumeaux, par les duos parfois bizarres, par les relations mystérieuses. Je suis heureux de vous inviter à plonger dans ce monde spécifique des binômes au sein de la riche œuvre de Jacques Sonck. -Roger Szmulewicz, 2022
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Jacques Sonck (°1949) finds his exceptional models on the streets of Belgian cities like Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels, and photographs them on the spot, often in front of a neutral background. Regardless the volatile and anonymous nature of these encounters, Sonck’s subjects pose with full surrender, pride and self-confidence. Often these portraits have a humorous undertone, stealing a grin from the viewer. In other cases Sonck confronts his audience with deformed individuals, evoking feelings of shame and discomfort. Notwithstanding the confrontational nature of these portraits, Sonck is never guilty of voyeurism or ridicule as he approaches his subjects with distance, without judgment but with a certain softness and respect. From the 1990s onward Sonck started inviting his models into his studio, where he photographs them in front of a simple dark background with artificial light. In these purified photographs he focuses more on faces and or even body parts. These are more classical, timeless images, in comparison with his street photographs in which clothing and background often give away the timing. Jacques Sonck is represented by Gallery FIFTY-ONE, Antwerp.

Paperback. Etat : New. Twice by Jacques Sonck brings together duo-toned portraits of people in twos and threes that Jacques Sonck photographed on the street over the course of thirty years. Jacques Sonck shoots classical analogue black-and-white portraits with an eye for the extraordinary. His oeuvre is a celebration of the diversity of humankind. Sonck is attracted by people who stand out from the crowd, either by an anomaly in their appearance or by their extrovert attitude and Twice demonstrates diversity and his anthropological taste within photography. His eccentric models are unique individuals who walk the border of 'normality'. Although his work is often compared with that of Diane Arbus, who photographed humans on the margins of society, Sonck is more interested in the physical appearance than in the social position of his subjects.In English and French.
