[ays_poll id=271]

Met beelden van het dagelijks leven, objecten uit onze directe omgeving en enkele subtiele portretten, onderzoekt de Brusselse fotograaf Sven Laurent de vragen van ruimte, tijd en bestaan en onthult hij de onconventionele schoonheid van onze directe omgeving.

Sommige dagen voel ik me onzichtbaar,
I feel like I’m going to dissolve into fear, sadness and anxiety.

Op die dagen maak ik foto's,
geen twijfel meer, geen vragen meer,
gewoon het moment, vrede en rust.

For me photography has always been about comfort and contemplation. Finding beauty in my close surroundings is a balancing act in order to survive the social and political turmoil of the world we live in.

Carrying a camera most of the time, I take pictures wherever I am. I don’t look for the exotic or the spectacular. Images appear to me, triggered by the light, colour, shape or perspective, revealing the beauty that often goes unseen.

« No country for a flag’s shadow »

Each country or community has its own specific flag to represent themselves. But all the shadows of all flags look the same. This image metaphorically questions our identity and belonging to a community.
We all know that having the right flag has inevitable consequences on the course of our lives.
While the shadows of all flags are the same, clearing the differences of our affiliations and gathering indivi- duals under a single flag, « the shadow of all flags ».
