Hinterland. Exil intérieur - Alexis Gicart

L’impatient

Price:: 24 €

Hinterland frees the echo of the world in its faults, such, hollow, a silent memory of oneself, an interior hinterland.

If schizoidism is the inability to realize its own loneliness, Hinterland would be a reflection of it, in and out of the world.

The Hinterland photographic series is a long-term project exploring the different realities of a territory. These images show marginal places, fragmented transition zones, abandoned structures; spaces between proximity and distance, presence and absence, natural and artificial. They also have a fictional potential: a territory beyond the visible or known, this strange hinterland where life begins and ends.

Alexis Gicart

is a Belgian photographer born in Brussels in 1976. He has been doing portraits for about ten years. He is known for a rich photographic production that testifies to the Belgian musical world: creation of the visual identity of singer Melanie De Biasio in particular, with whom he collaborated for seven years. In parallel, many images are produced: traces of life, places, encounters that have been the subject of several exhibitions. In 2018, his field expands, the architectural firm 51n4e orders him a series of images that documents the process of revitalization of the World Trade Center in Brussels.
