This year’s International Photo Festival will run until 13 June 2011 in Knokke-Heist under the theme of Future Portraits. The festival will zoom in on theatrical portrait photography and the way in which contemporary mediums are used to breathe new life into the genre.
One of the international guests of honour this year is the American, Robert Wilson. Wilson acquired international renown with his daring work for theatre but is also active as a visual artist. A purpose-built exhibition pavilion on the Rubensplein will form the backdrop for his video portraits of famous personalities such as Brad Pitt, Salma Hayek and Steve Buscemi.
