2023—2024
FEUILLETON:
Historically, public space has been the pre-eminent place for artists and photographers to work. As a subject, it has been captured extensively. The photographs and images we see in public space, however, are most of the time functional, and more specifically commercial in nature. FEUILLETON appropriates a commercial device to question the imagery of public space.

A rotating billboard is mounted to the facade of the former welding factory that 019 occupies. From that location-specific context, and with the tension between images and public space as the subject, a visual story for the billboard takes form, based on procedures that the billboard imposes. The billboard shows three images, whereby, each week, the oldest image is replaced by a new one. A FEUILLETON unfolds.

Part of the master seminar FEUILLETON at KASK & conservatorium, Gent taking place at and with 019, 2023. Part of the research project ‘On Instructing Photography’ at KASK & conservatorium, Gent. This project is made possible by the generous support of Canon Belgium. All prints made with a Canon image PROGRAF TM-200 on Canon water-resistant self-adhesive matt polypropylene.

2020—2022
THE SITUATION AS IT IS:
A story that unfolds in episodes of three frames, rhythmically revolving on a new billboard mounted onto 019’s facade. From Friday 16 October 2020 until mid 2022 permanently on view on the outside of 019.
