HOPPER&FUCHS ECHTZEIT: Dirk Braeckman Photography Book

Explore the dark and understated photographic world of Dirk Braeckman in this specialized publication from HOPPER&FUCHS. This book was produced to accompany the solo exhibition ECHTZEIT held at FoMu, Antwerp, from March 28, 2024, to January 19, 2025. Braeckman has spent over forty years exploring photography through a lens of mystery and tactile sensation. In this collection, he takes pieces from the FOMU vernacular collection and reinterprets them through his own unique vision. By using his camera, eyes, and hands, he creates enigmatic images that focus on the physical materiality of the print. This volume provides a deep look into the artist's process, specifically his work in the dark room where he manipulates negatives to experiment with light and shadow. It is an essential addition for collectors of contemporary photography and those interested in the technical and artistic evolution of Belgian photography.
