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

Alison Rossiter (º1953, Jackson, Mississippi, US) lives and works in New York. Rossiter creates photographs without a camera, using vintage photographic paper. FOMU is proud to own the work Gevaert Gevaluxe Velours, by Alison Rossiter.

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

Sherman’s work is immediately comprehensible. In mere seconds, we recognize what Sherman aims to display, yet she never fully reaches complete representation of the characters she presents – not because she’s incapable, but because she wants her work to exist on the border of reality and imagination.

Curator Rein Deslé, directeur van de Verbund Collectie Gabriele Schor en topmodel Hannelore Knuts reflecteren op het werk van Cindy Sherman. Wat is het dat hen raakt in Shermans beelden?
