After showing my work at ART TRU TROC 2012 I was called to meet  Polet Abud Franco from Artistica Art Gallery. After talking, she invited me to show some pieces of art into her smart gallery. Actually, you should appreciate some works issued from the Potentia Naturalis serie , but also the starting point of a new set called NATURA ESSENTIALIS…

META TAG is a term used in modern photography to index the image content with text, giving  informations about pictures etc. A kind of description, a consistent decoding that allow us archiving, ensuring it the sustainability in modern flows. In reference of Tag, it’s also a kind of inner language from urban, where territory and property have a cultural importance. The tag is a trace of contest coming from the street and the term “Meta” means some transcendence.

An important photography essay have been made with teens during january to May 2012 . With Brussels Eyes asbl, we have planned to ask to young people living in some particular districts of Brussels to show what is a territory ?

3 associations working in social cohesion,  3 photographers from Brussels Eyes asbl and 3 groups of teens from North, South and the Center of Brussels have questionned their territory, a strange mix between artists and unskilled youth.

Brussels’Eyes artists have selected some pictures and processed them to give the best results they can. With this contribution a sort of transmission is released.

Goal or intuition

I probably don’t know. My aim was to show art and not a work made by youth with naive pictures.
My fear was to reappropriate the work of them making something other far from what they saw.

Only the public can judge it but I found really interesting the way some teens have shown their personnality , putting me far from just reappropriation.

Sample image that you will see during the exhibition META-TAG. I found it really impressvie and georgous. We see a real impact photograph with a particular atmosphere; author inside © 2012 Ayoub from Berchem Saint Agathe District area

The Sword and the Mask © 2012 Bruno DALIMONTE

A strange and fuzzy vision appears to me last time, it was something like discovering a sort of frozen super-hero in the middle of a lost place. Holding a big sparkling sword and exhibiting his face leaving his gold mask, it’s like somebody who have planned to kill you just before showing his real identity. We are in Cureghem, Aviation place, part of Anderlecht where  you can see in the background a socialist slogan from a particular Art Deco building. It’s written “prevoyance Sociale”, which means: “Social Providence”. If you take attention to the statue, you’ll find something really strange: its habit. The statue is dedicated to showmen dead during the World War.

In the City, skyscrapers are big without grinding us, streets are wide, letting us discover some buildings that appears like a creature dressed in camouflage. This one in the center,  was  one of the twin towers disappeared September 11th.

First day, just arrived, looking at the sky, shearching the difference between east and west, I’m uptown looking in the Eye of the City.

Traffic Jam, stress,  hurried taxis, mist everywhere, paranos, always on the move …  That’s life in the city. Only a free spirit can pass through this urban jungle, or somebody with a good umbrella …
