The BOZAR Museum in Brussels is entering the month of February with some exciting new additions! The recently opened exhibition on Dirk Braeckman is set to inspire visitors by showing how a grey-scaled photograph can transfer the feelings of intimacy onto its admirers. Dirk Braeckman is one of the most prominent Belgian photographer's of his generation. His current display at the BOZAR comes at the heels of his success at the 57th Biennale di Venezia where the exhibition was met with outstanding reviews.

In the world where technology is accessible and photos can be taken by anyone - its harder than ever to stand out from the crowd. But the thing that has made Braeckman’s photos so special all this time, is the ability to evoke emotions and making the visitors themselves feel like more than just observers. The Ghent-based artist developed a visual language of his own, using analogue techniques and challenging the rules of photography. “In a way I work against the medium and do the opposite of what photography is originally meant for.” His black-and-white photographs, developed many years after they've been shot, are intimate, private and give out a sense of darkness, as the meaning behind some of these magnificent pieces has yet to be uncovered. Go to our app and delve into the moody world of his photographs as our guide will take you behind the scenes to uncover remarkable facts about this photography giant.

His exhibition at the BOZAR, the Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels runs until April 29th, be sure to check it out!
