Synopsis

ECHTZEIT est réalisé en collaboration avec Dirk Braeckman et le FOMU dans le cadre de son exposition solo au département Collections, sous la direction de Tamara Berghmans. ECHTZEIT offre un aperçu unique des photographies les plus récentes de Dirk Braeckman, accompagnées de la collection du musée et de textes écrits par Clément Chéroux, directeur de la Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson et Tamara Berghmans, commissaire de l'exposition. Dirk Braeckman est un photographe belge contemporain de premier plan dont le travail fait partie de nombreuses collections à travers le monde et qui expose dans le monde entier depuis quatre décennies. Braeckman est connu pour ses grands tirages aux tons gris argentés et cherche à manipuler le médium photographique depuis ses débuts il y a plus de quarante ans, en faisant ressortir une certaine lenteur et un certain espace dans son travail. Braeckman n'est pas un chasseur d'images, mais plutôt un créateur d'images, sélectionnant des fragments de la réalité qui sont transformés dans la chambre noire en tirages uniques. Sa méthodologie le fait donc osciller entre deux domaines : le photographe et le peintre. Sa palette est toujours sourde, à l'exception d'une sélection de tirages colorés, et le sujet disparaît presque toujours dans le tirage, comme des réminiscences de fantômes qui passent à travers les yeux, sans nom et sans narration. La totalité de son travail, et donc de ses archives, se distingue immédiatement. En raison de cela, Braeckman a un ensemble de réalisations exceptionnelles, y compris la représentation à long terme par la prestigieuse galerie Zeno X à Anvers (fermeture en décembre 2023), ainsi qu'avec d'autres galeries telles que GRIMM et la Galerie Thomas Fischer et plus encore. En 2017, Dirk Braeckman a représenté la Belgique à la 57e Biennale de Venise et La famille royale de Belgique a commandé une installation permanente dans la salle du Sphinx du Palais royal de Bruxelles. En 2021, Braeckman a été invité à participer à la 34e Biennale de São Paulo "Though it's dark, still I sing ».

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Dirk Braeckman defies easy description: leading contemporary Belgian photographer whose work is part of numerous collections across the globe and has been exhibiting worldwide for four decades. Braeckman is notorious for his silverish-grey toned, large-scale prints and has been seeking to manipulate the medium of photography since he began, drawing out a certain slowness and space within his work. His methodology shifts him between two areas: photographer and painter. His pallet is always muted, except for a selection of coloured prints, and with the subject almost always disappearing into the print, like reminiscents of ghosts passing through the eyes, with no name and no narrative.

Due to this, Braeckman has a set of outstanding achievements including long-term representation by the prestigious Zeno X Gallery in Antwerp as well as with other galleries such as GRIMM and Galerie Thomas Fischer and more. In 2017, Dirk Braeckman represented Belgium at the 57th Venice Biennale and The Royal Family of Belgium commissioned a permanent installation in the Sphinx Room of the Royal Palace in Brussels. In 2021 Braeckman was invited to take part in the 34th Bienal de São Paulo ‘Though it’s dark, still I sing’. Braeckman has taken part in numerous exhibitions both nationally and internationally. He has had solo shows at: The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (USA), LE BAL (Paris), De Pont (Tilburg), De Appel (Amsterdam), S.M.A.K. (Ghent), BOZAR (Brussels), M Museum (Leuven) and ROSEGALLERY (Santa Monica, CA). Braeckman’s works are part of important private and public collections around the world, including in FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais (Dunkirk), Sammlung Goetz (Munich), De Pont (Tilburg) and Fondation Nationale d’Art Contemporain (Paris), Centraal Museum (Utrecht), and Musée d’Art Contemporain et Moderne (Strasbourg). There are also several publications on his artistic practice and oeuvre.

Dirk Braeckman defies easy description: leading contemporary Belgian photographer whose work is part of numerous collections across the globe and has been exhibiting worldwide for four decades. Braeckman is notorious for his silverish-grey-toned, large-scale prints and has been seeking to manipulate the medium of photography since he began over forty years ago, drawing out a certain slowness and space within his work. Braeckman is not a pursuer of the image, more so he is a creator of the image, selecting fragments of reality that are worked out in the darkroom into unique prints. His methodology therefore shifts him between two areas: photographer and painter. His palette is always muted, except for a selection of colored prints, and the subject almost always disappears into the print, like reminiscents of ghosts passing through the eyes, with no name, and no narrative. The totality of his work, and therefore his archive is immediately distinguishable. Due to this, Braeckman has a set of outstanding achievements including long-term representation by the prestigious Zeno X Gallery in Antwerp (closing December 2023) as well as with other galleries such as GRIMM and Galerie Thomas Fischer and more. In 2017, Dirk Braeckman represented Belgium at the 57th Venice Biennale and The Royal Family of Belgium commissioned a permanent installation in the Sphinx Room of the Royal Palace in Brussels.
