Hendrik Braet

The Edge

These images were taken on the outskirts of his town Ghent, in which he is searching for a feeling of a horizon in a densely built environment. Lacking a sense of open landscape in the city ensures that people live soberly and make too little space to realise their dreams. For Braet, taking photographs is reducing everything until there is only a minimal representation of reality. In the 'Excess' we live in there is always a need for more minimalism. As a result we witness a series of images in which color, form and surrealism are placed central.
