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.

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

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.

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

In response to the overview exhibition at FOMU, we engaged in a conversation with James Barnor. His versatile talent and influential images make him a pioneer in the history of photography.

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.
