While we work with different photographers for each SHOW, we continue to collaborate with a selection of Belgium-based designers and artists throughout the season (September ’25 – June ’26).
For each SHOW, we create a unique scenography in which
photography enters into dialogue with design, objects and sculptures.
All pieces featured in the scenography, are creations of the IMAGINAIR design collective.
Together with the collective, we were selected for BADAFF –
a lovely & lively Art- & Design fair in Ghent.
What began as an observation of the voids between white buildings gradually shifts into an investigation of whiteness as a concept. White no longer manifests merely as form or surface, but as action: to protect, to conceal, to erase. In this advancing abstraction emerges the notion of whiteness as a boundary—a point at which intensity tips into loss. White heat.
Just as the melting of the polar ice caps makes the disappearance of ice palpable, so here the boundary of whiteness becomes tangible: a transition from presence to absence, from concentration to dissolution. Just as the Earth, under increasing heat, vaporizes what once seemed solid, whiteness becomes a metaphor for a tipping point where preservation turns into disappearance.
