Three additional events for your agendas 1. Meet the Artists
4. Viewpoint – Point of view
Symposium on landscape photography with Massimo Vitali, Pedro Cabrita Reis, Céline Clanet and Vesselina Nikolaeva and Liz Wells (curator of the exhibition Sense of Place). Bozar, Brussels
Inspired by the series Barriers-European Neighbouring, that documented the evolving function of borders in Europe, the exhibition Viewpoint-Point of View sees life from a tourist standpoint. Taking as starting point the areas from which tourists photograph certain landscapes, the images on show emphasise the imposed and dictated way in which we are told to view certain landscapes. With a focal point and a picture frame pre-determined for us, the comfort of the viewer seems to lie in the restriction of choice in viewpoints. Four images from the original series will be shown alongside new work, all presented by photographer Michiel De Cleene. From 14 th June to 16 th September
14 th June from 14h
