Dirk Braeckman: No Denial, No Explanation
22 May until 5 July, 2025
“Dirk Braeckman is celebrated for his stilled, enigmatic visual language—one that continuously questions, suspends, and redefines the photographic medium. His austere, often monochromatic images oppose the velocity and superficiality of today’s visual overload. They urge the viewer to slow down, to look more attentively, and to embrace ambiguity. For Braeckman, the essence of photography lies not in the moment of capture, but in the entire process—from the initial shot to the final image. With this approach, he engages with photography through a painterly lens, emphasizing the process of image construction. His works are not straightforward reproductions of reality, they are carefully altered, marked, deconstructed, and recomposed by the artist. As a result, the viewer doesn’t just get a glimpse through Braeckman’s lens, but feels his physical presence within each work.”
