Revisited after 100 years
"Revisited after 100 years" (2024)
When a century old photographic glass plate of a natural pond with the hand written indication ‘Craenepoel-Bellem’ came into my possession I searched for the exact spot where the unknown photographer had stood to take his picture more than 100 years ago to take some pictures myself. Thereafter I processed all the photos - the old one and the new ones- into a hanging glass installation, celebrating the beauty of that area.

The original photographic glass plate (7,0 cm x 5,0 cm)
Five 3D- hanging objects, each 27,0 cm x 24,0 cm x 3,0 cm. The distance between the front and the back part of each slumped glass object is 2,5 cm.
Float glass; Slumping, kiln fired photo decal transfers on the front and back side, kiln fired painting, silver leaf gilding.
