Lectures
The photo studio of life
Sophie Feyder is a Luxembourg artist with Peruvian roots who is based mainly in Brussels. Her photographic practice forms part of a contemporary anthropological approach that focuses on the full human being. More specifically, she explores the subjective experience of migration in the current period through photographs, interviews and mises en scènes that help her to recount the history of the people she meets. As an artist and an author, but also a researcher, Sophie Feyder thus gives voice to hopes, disappointments and questions by sketching complex and moving portraits of humanity.
Discover Sophie Feyder's approach to work, her motivations and her choices in an exchange with commissioner Françoise Poos, a researcher in visual culture. Together they invite us to accompany them in a strolling conversation in the exhibition space as they wander between two periods, Norbert Ketter's Luxembourg of the 70s and 80's and the contemporary world, and two artistic practices joined by a common interest, human beings.
With And They Lived Happily Ever After, the artist, author and researcher uses her work to explore the memory and subjective experience of migration and belonging in the current period. She gives voice to hopes, disappointments and questions, thus producing complex and moving portraits of humanity. Separated by several decades, the works Sophie Feyder and Norbert Ketter echo each other on the subject of humanity, in a space that the two artists fully occupy, the photo studio of life.
Free entrance, no prior registration needed.
