Book tower images
- This page is part of our exhibition archive. The exhibition took place from 21-04-2023 to 17-06-2023
By juxtaposing multiple images of the same building, this exhibition deals with various models of architectural representation: from the typical modernist architectural photographs by Emile Sergysels from the 1930s to the recent explorations by Aglaia Konrad. In addition, the exhibition combines architectural photography with a myriad of other artistic and photographic practices such as documentary photography, street photography, fashion shoots, photojournalism, amateur photography, painting, video, et cetera – with, of course, the Book Tower as a common thread.
With works by Dirk Braeckman, Kristien Daem, Jan De Cock, Walter De Mulder, Carl De Keyzer, Geert Goiris, Lucien Hervé, Candida Höfer, Jan Kempenaers, Aglaia Konrad, Marie-Jo Lafontaine, Agnes Maes, Paul Robbrecht, François Schuiten, Emile Sergysels, and Walter Vorjohann among others.
Curated by Steven Jacobs & Charlotte Dossche.
On the occasion of this exhibition, A&S/Books publishes a book.
