ECHTZEIT is made in collaboration with Dirk Braeckman and the FOMU (Photography Museum of Antwerp) in line with his impactful solo show with the Collections department, curated by Tamara Berghmans.
ECHTZEIT offers a unique glimpse into Dirk Braeckman’s most recent photographs, accompanied with the museum’s collection and texts written by Clément Chéroux, director of the Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Tamara Berghmans, curator of the exhibition.
Dirk Braeckman defies easy description: leading contemporary Belgian photographer whose work is part of numerous collections across the globe and has been exhibiting worldwide for four decades. Braeckman is notorious for his silverish-grey-toned, large-scale prints and has been seeking to manipulate the medium of photography since he began over forty years ago, drawing out a certain slowness and space within his work.
In 2017, Dirk Braeckman represented Belgium at the 57th Venice Biennale and The Royal Family of Belgium commissioned a permanent installation in the Sphinx Room of the Royal Palace in Brussels. In 2021 Braeckman took part in the 34th Bienal de São Paulo ‘Though it’s dark, still I sing’.
