This year was a challenge to say the least. But now that the end is in sight, I invite you to end the year festively with a visit to my solo exhibition ‘Grand Cru’ at Hopstreet Gallery in Brussels.

The exhibition consists of as many barite photos, each time hidden in a wine box. The photos are unfixed and therefore sensitive to light. As a result, the photo will slowly turn black as soon as the box is opened.
