                                             The repetition of images, visual sequences,
                                             accidental similarities and free associations
                                             form the alphabet of a mysterious language.
                                             Starting from her archive, Ruth van Beek
                                             makes collages and books. The images
                                             from this archive are constantly conversing
                                             with one another.
                                                   A large part of the image archive finds
                                             its origin in old manuals. Books that are
                                             made as a tool, as an advisor for everyday
                                             occupations. The images mainly show
                                             hands that demonstrate how something is          789490 800871          9

                                        164 images. This ambitious but utopian                 AND
                                        project reads like a sampler of photographic
                                        genres: landscape, nude, still life, etc. To
                                        achieve this, Kooiker often uses clichés
                                                                                             RARITIES

                                             Kooiker increasingly allows the
                                        personal to creep into the work. Intimate

                                          “Colorblind Sands” is a project for a journey,
                                           a reflection upon photography and the great
                                           American road trip. It explores the semantics
                                           of color, the experience of time and place,
                                           and the possibilities for analog printing in
                                           the darkroom. “Colorblind Sands” is a ficti­

                                           dystopian visions were rooted in his per­

                                           approach, Reuzé prefers to concentrate
                                           upon different levels of meaning. The ex­
                                           perience of time in this publication is akin
                                           to walking along a tightrope.

                                           “Nothing on the left” collects a variety
                                            of Stien Bekaert’s visual motives and
                                            practice in found imagery. Bekaert zooms
                                            in into fragments of found footage and
                                            photographs. Bekaert changes them and
                                            brings them together in a new context.

                                     But how do the two relate to one another?
                                     Or, to rephrase the question, can a mental
                                     illness also be seen as a superpower?
                                          To answer this question Jan Hoek spent

                                     in New York. This comic book, “Mental

NEW   FLIP — About Image Construction

                                        “FLIP — About Image Construction” is the
                                         catalogue published on the occasion of
                                         the exhibition of the same name, held at
                                         KASK, Ghent in March 2018 and curated by
                                         Kasper Andreasen. The exhibition focused
                                         on displaying a temporary archive of artists’
                                         books parallel to more than a dozen filmic
                                         works. Alongside the film and video works in
                                         the exhibition, artists’ books from the KASK
                                         collection (Kunstenbibliotheek) were shown
                                         as well as selections by 4 book collectors
                                         and publishers. The term ‘FLIP’ associatively
                                         refers to the performative gesture of leafing
                                         through a book but also to notions of image

                                         books and video works.
                                               In short, the exhibition was a way of
                                         showing these media together, emphasizing
                                         the use of narrative strategies and image
                                         construction as extensions of each other.

                                         a complete bibliography with stills of the
                                         dis­played books and films together with

                          How do we look at a photograph of a place
                          when there are no anchor points? How do
                          we approach the surface of a landscape,
                          rendered flat in an image, when there is no
                          significant horizon, or when there are no
                          trees for scale? Onto what do we cling our
                          gaze? (Rocks, solid as they may be, are
                          deceptive in size and therefore unreliable.)

                                        confronted with traces of what has been.
                                        Rather, each scene allows us a glimpse
                                        into the action of the story Camille Picquot
                                        is un­folding. Released of its burden of proof,
                                        photography can now fully be applied to its
                                        new purpose: to visually narrate and suggest
                                        a fictional story. In her artistic work, Picquot
                                        is equally at ease with photography as she
                                        is with film. Applying and mixing common
                                        practices of these media, she never places

                                                  represents the synthesis of his two latest

                                                  between nostalgia and a visionary utopia.
                                                  The two photographic series are thematically
                                                  linked by the title of the exhibition, which

                                                   place we worked in. From the start, it’s

                                                   on the spot. For three years, from 2013

                    Michael Blaser’s artistic concerns centre on
                    the unspectacular, the trivial, the familiar and
                    the oftentimes overlooked. Raised in the
                    agglo­meration, he examines the peculiarities
                    of the urban periphery. The artist confronts
                    us with a Switzerland of mediocrity that
                    oscillates between urban identity and pro­
                    vincial character, nature and urban sprawl,
                    public and private space. Michael Blaser’s
                    photographs can be considered both land­
                    scape and architectural images. The domes­
                    ticated landscapes with their infrastructures
                    are unadorned mirror images of our society.
