Dirk Braeckman (BE, °1958) has explored the medium of photography in sombre/dark and understated images, for over forty years.

By making the Gevaert archive - with more than 377 types of photographic paper and 1300 photo packaging - publicly accessible, FOMU keeps knowledge about analogue photography and photo paper alive.

Starting this month, you can access the information digitized by FOMU as part of the Gevaert Paper Project through a Wikibase database. This database aims to make the information accessible to a wide audience.

Op uitnodiging van FOMU verkent beeldend kunstenaar Katja Mater (NL° 1979) de museumcollectie en maakt een bijzondere selectie rond het thema ‘tijd’. In de tentoonstelling No Longer Not Yet kan je op uiteenlopende manieren ‘tijd’ ervaren: van zonnetijd en het ritme van je lichaam tot tijden van herinnering, asynchrone tijd, kosmische tijd en onzichtbare tijd. 

FOMU presents the first retrospective in Belgium of the American photographer Cindy Sherman.
