Carbonated Zinnias These are an exploration into a new way of shooting flowers, something I haven't seen before. As an experiment, I wondered how these flowers would react to being immersed in a clear carbonated liquid, and it showed me something new and enticing. I then continued to experiment with light and dark backgrounds, and then food coloring added to the liquid.
Glimmer of hope One idle afternoon in 2010, I grabbed my camera and headed out into the garden. In less than half an hour, I took some thirty photos, from which these are taken.
Music Teacher The photo project “Music Teacher” was filmed at the municipal music school, which was opened in 1956, in music classes where classes take place every day. I was interested in understanding and capturing teachers, how they feel in this profession, what they are like and their relationship with music. Music teachers took part in the project; as it turned out, they were all women who had dedicated their…

Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Chronicle It is common knowledge that quality and quantity do not go well together. An increase in containers inexorably leads to a weakening of the contents. This Law of Nature, because it is a Law of Nature, also applies to all generative systems and procedures. The damage resulting from an exponential growth, which is often anarchic, ultimately proves to be catastrophic, when it is not fatal. The…
In 2024, Ostend celebrates the 75th anniversary of the passing of the unique painter James Ensor, a Belgian artist from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

His oeuvre consists of a diverse and intriguing assortment of paintings, drawings, and prints…

Her works, halfway between photography and sculpture, harbor the coexistence of states, surfaces and perspectives. Something deeply soothing emerges from Hannah Hughes’ collages.

In the realm of contemporary photography, Jeff Cowen’s work…
