#2 The Guardian’s best of photography 2017

Schermafbeelding 2017-12-14 om 08.16.44

I started ‘Bending The Frame‘ to create projects that envision my ideas about photography. Instead of complaining what was wrong or could be better with things, I wanted to create things and see if we could literally bend some frames. The idea for #Slide was to rethink the framework of a slideshow and match up photographers with an amazing body of work to incredible musicians that have the art to improvise and who can have a dialogue with the photographer. The result was then performed live during 3 consecutive evening screenings in Antwerp.
The collaboration between Sohrab Hura, Hannes d’Hoine and Sjoerd Bruil has been more then incredible in every way and travelled around to Berlin, Minnesota, Gent,…
Each different live performance or screening had it’s own feel and magic but London stands out. 3 live performances by Hannes that captivated the audiences, a continuous loop of the piece during the wonderful Peckham 24 photo festival, a party with our own resident dj Faster PussyKat aka Katrijn Sermeus.
Now Sean O’Hagan of The Guardian makes ‘The Lost Head & The Bird’ screening his #2 of the past photography year.
So so proud!! Wow wow wow. Thank you Iona Fergusson and Vivienne Gamble for bringing this amazing piece of Sohrab’s and Hannes to London. It’s been special in every single way imaginable.

Muhammed Muheisen

Last week I was surprised and very honored to find that fellow photographer and dear friend Muhammed Muheisen mentioned me in his online article on the American Photo website, where he is taking over their instagram account for a week.

Ever since I met Muhammed back in 2006 in Jerusalem, I’ve been inspired by his work and it’s so wonderful to know he likes my work as well. Thank you so much for the kind words Muhammed!

Do check out the amazing work of Muhammed. You’ll notice immediately why he has won a few World Press Photo Awards, a Pulitzer Prize and countless other awards and continues to inspire me in my work.
