EXPO July 9 – September 4

​

​

 a group exhibition curated by Joost Vandebrug that brings together seven pioneering artists  who each explore in their original and uncompromising way the historic photographic process of Cyanotypes.

​

​

ARTISTS:

Gohar Dashti, Iran. Dashti’s experience of the Iran-Iraq war weighs on her artistic work. Her cyanotypes in this exhibition are of organic material that she destroyed and fractured before photographing it, therefore commenting on the beauty of the natural world while also acknowledging the damaging effects humans can have on it.

Mika Horie, Japan. Horie’s delicate and intimate cyanotypes are exposed by the sun on paper that she makes herself from the bark of the locally sourced Gampi tree, in her native village in Japan. Her work is a spectacle of mountain-scapes, foliage, and near-forgotten villages.

Ivan Forde, United States. Through his work, Ivan retells stories from epic poetry, casting himself as every character to reflect on migration, memory, and homeland. Forde’s cyanotypes/mixed media works in this exhibition draw heavily from his own family history in Guyana, specifically, the fascinating history of Buxton, his grandmother’s hometown.

Arash Fakhim, Netherlands. Fakhim uses cyanotypes to create installations that live in their own world, far from the conventional assumptions that this technique is often associated with. His works shows echoes and traces that were left by objects while exposing cyanotypes in the sun.

Erika Rodin, Sweden. Reconstructing her own identity and heritage by the use of cyanotypes. Rodin photographic objects consist of meticulously selected pieces of blue Heartwood from her family forest in Sweden. The wood is coated and exposed to sunlight, revealing a personal journey into memory.

Timo Lieber, united kingdom. Lieber is using the cyanotype process to chart the metamorphosis of melting ice. The physicality of the ice crystals melting on the surface of the paper leaves traces of its presence.

Lieber’s cyanotypes are a testament to his commitment to capturing what is lost -what will never be again.

Julie van der Vaart, Belgium. Julie’s work is strongly rooted in experimental and historic photographic techniques. Her photographs show intimate encounters with human forms, presented like precious relics. Her cyanotypes in this exhibition are printed on fabric.

Young talent in the spotlight !

Ramy Moharam Fouad


Ramy is a 21-year-old, Antwerp based, film director, photographer and creative director.

His passion for the audiovisual world is rooted in photography, where Ramy was able to experiment a lot during his teenage years. After participating in several competitions with his personal work, he started to roll into the backstage of various Belgian musicians and bands, following them around on tour. Always on the road with his brother, singer-songwriter Tamino, he created his visual identity during his breakthrough and still does. 

At that time he discovered an equally growing passion for moving images after he directed his first music video at the age of 16 for the song ‘Cigar’ by Tamino. He knew directing was his calling. From then on, Ramy has been directing many music videos for artists such as Tamino, Blackwave, IBE, Emma Bale and Selah Sue & designer JanJan Van Essche

When not on tour or working on a music video, Ramy mainly works on his shortfilms, telling his own stories. His most recent work is ‘Shadow, till you return’, a film he created together with Violet Braeckman was selected for kortfilmfestival Leuven 2020, Breedbeeld filmfestival 2020 en VERS filmfestival 2021

This year he will graduate from Luca School of Arts in his bachelor. We will sell some prints to support his shortfilm
