Namibia, 2016
Vernissage opening Saturday 1 October, 2 p.m. - 6 p.m.
Exhibition : 1 October 2016 - 3 June 2017
Marc Agten, a lawyer and resident of Knokke, makes us look at the whole in a different way with his series of artistic still photographs of landscapes. He plays with silence and movement, zooms in and takes distance, observes natural phenomena and reflects the constantly changing light.
The details dissolve into the space and create a sense of infinity.
The all-over compositions create a tangible spatial atmosphere.
The aesthetically desolate landscape and its elements, sand, air and water, seem to stand still, but are subtly and slowly set in motion by the wind.
