PANG

Anouk De Clercq
Central to the piece is a woman who evocates the ideal of beauty of the 19th century Pre-Raphaelite painters: etherical, melancholic, soft but also cool, inaccesible. Afterwards the image is drawn out in order to come closer to the essence and at the same time to make it more magical...

VLAANDEREN IN VOGELVLUCHT

Jef Cornelis
An outlook on Flanders from the air. The familiar landscape is explored as it could never be explored before and this liberating experience makes it even more familiar in many ways.
