We have done our best to stick to your particular requests and to take into account your possible affinities with your neighbors etc. If your stall does not suit you we apologize for it. You can clarify things next year.

For this year we can not make any changes except at the last minute in case of difficulties presented by the new place or following an error on our part.

to those in room 2:  do not worry, we have taken all possible measures for the public to visit you (display, signage, activities etc).

 

Reminder: Access times are in the terms and conditions that you received with your badge. We will be strict about them.

 

Thank you for your understanding and have a good fair.

2 days

Dear friends,

  • You now have 2 days left to reserve your stall.
    • For members: the reservation of your stand is not included automatically in your membership. You must order it separately. The exhibitor badge is replaced by your membership badge. You only need an assistant badge for, well, your assistants.

 

  • Your envelope with your badges will give you opening hours of the venue and parking. We will be uncompromising on these schedules. Arriving too soon will only clog up traffic.
    • All the badges for complete and paid for reservations are in the post.

 

  • Stalls that are not paid for must be as quickly as possible otherwise the badges will not reach you in time. This will make things less comfortable for you on Sunday morning.
    Next year we will be strict on this, the terms and conditions will be applied to the letter after these 3 years of transition.

 

  • We received an extra prize to put in the raffle. This wooden pinhole camera is gifted to us by Lerouge.
    If you would like a ticket, these are available on the site.

 

 

 

  • For those who are worried about the change of address and the consequences of this you can visit the following page:  https://photographia-asbl.com/?p=3050
    It contains the numbers that will allow you to judge our communication efforts. We apologize for not providing you with a translation.

 

  • If you have any worries or problems please feel free to contact us. There is always an explanation / solution.

9 days to Deadline.

exhibition: the body otherwise

Posted on by Admin

The participants for the exhibition at this year’s Occaphot‘ are:

Arsiloe – orotone – wax figure

Caroline Chik we’ll be showing her orotones. In case you don’t know what that is, come and find out by looking at her work and reading about the process.

 

 

 

Besides her work you will discover:

(no translation available, sorry.)

 

 Yousra Daly:
“j’aimerai vous présenter le thème “Autoportrait”, réalisé pour mon jury de fin d’année. Pour ce thème, j’ai réalisé un sténopé rond pouvant accueillir une feuille A4. Cette forme cyclique apporte une déformation du corps, et génère ainsi un autre corps que celui qui se représente à moi face à un miroir. 
De plus, ce thème se présentait à moi comme une recherche de mon être à travers le médium photographique. Par la suite, il me fallut le besoin d’aller plus loin dans ma recherche et de continuer le travail après le développement de ma photographie en négatif, j’ai donc commencé à dégrader; peindre, à l’aide de produits chimiques mes autoportraits.”
 

“La série « kintsugi » fait référence à l’art de la porcelaine au Japon quand, brisée, elle est réparée par un joint à l’or fin qui, au lieu de dissimuler l’accident, l’amplifie et le glorifie. Les modèles blessés, amputés, deviennent ainsi de précieuses porcelaines.Photographie argentique, tirage jet d’encre, ajouts de feuille d’or.”
