Peter Lindbergh Untold Stories, when fashion photography becomes Art
A sublime retrospective that pays tribute to Peter Lindbergh. This exhibition represents his artistic vision that was built and nurtured through four decades of work, encounters and creativity. Every day for three years, Lindbergh spent his days and nights researching, editing, and assembling photos that would open up new interpretations and create a sense of surprise.
Previously hosted in Germany and Spain, Belgium now has the honour of presenting Peter Lindbergh's Untold Stories exhibition.
Designed to celebrate his legacy and offer a unique perspective on his work, the exhibition covers his entire career, from his beginnings in the 1980s to his death in September 2019.
Thanks to the involvement and support of the city of Brussels and the collaboration of the Peter Lindbergh Foundation, these unpublished photos, videos and large formats will be on display for five months in the Espace Vanderborght in Brussels.
The Origins
2018 marked the beginning of a friendship between Bruno Pani (founder of the events agency Profirst and the social club TheMerode) and Peter Lindbergh, the iconic photographer from the 1980s to the present-day. Lindbergh revealed a human touch, capturing the fragility in the strength of models, marking his era and the emergence of
the Top Models. He collaborated with the leading glossy magazines of the day, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair. He remains the only photographer to have captured the mythical Pirelli Calendar three times. Through his lens, the famous Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Helena Christensen, set the trend fora new expression of femininity - raw beauty.
In September 2019, Peter Lindbergh put down his camera for the last time, but the power of his cinematic-scale remains forever immortalised in each of the images that literally and figuratively pushed the boundaries of fashion photography. Before his death, Peter Lindbergh created a foundation with the aim of preserving his
work.
Since then, the Peter Lindbergh Foundation continues to promote his photographic heritage, notably through the Untold Stories exhibition, initially conceived in collaboration with the Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf.
Unpublished works
Untold Stories will unveil more than 150 works freely associated by the author to create a mise en abyme and a dialogue between the photos, superimposing the person who discovers, the person who poses and the person who is just passing by.
A monumental and immersive experience that combines barely known or completely unpublished photos with the artist's most iconic shots. Photography in motion, vibrating with the energy of portraits through which Peter Lindbergh helped elevate fashion photography to the rank of art.

EDEN 2.023 · A New Perspective on Paradise
Within the framework of Art Nouveau Brussels 2023, twenty-five 80x120 photos by the photographer Violaine Alghisi mixing dance and architecture have been selected with the eyes and the heart for an immobile journey in the intimacy of the more confidential Masterpieces of Belgian Art Nouveau.
The work produced by photographer Violaine Alghisi for this new exhibition expresses in a singular way both the architectural dimension of bodies and the organic corporality of Art Nouveau architecture. A proposal of in-between for a new perspective on a Paradise free of any religious dimension, except to consider its natural immanence.
With EDEN 2.023, Violaine Alghisi exhumes with a gentle lightning the whole message of liberation and questioning of the classical norms and codes carried by the Art Nouveau in its time.
Silhouettes, sometimes sensual, sometimes enigmatic, but always free, stand out like ghosts brought back to life on the walls and stained-glass windows of these monuments, reflections of a bygone era but nevertheless very present.
In her photos, the calm of the place becomes a pretext for transgressing the common rules of museums: here, we dance on the furniture of the Villa Autrique, we choreograph the furniture of Hamesse and so much the worse for the frozen whiteness of the tablecloths, it is the majesty of the bodies in movement that asserts itself standing on the dining room table!
A tender but impetuous artist, she gives us a look that mixes past and present, still and animated, which has chosen the more confidential Masterpieces of Belgian Art Nouveau as its setting.
Her approach questions the biases of style to offer a delicately punk vision of a newly postulated life of a Belle Époque revisited...
Created in the context of Art Nouveau Brussels 2023, the exhibition is accessible free of charge during the opening hours and days of the Ultieme Hallucinatie.
Twenty-five 80x120 photos, colour or black and white, selected with the eye and the heart for an immobile journey into the mysteries of the Hôtel Cohn-Donnay, the Maison Autrique, the Hôtel Hannon, the Horta Museum and the Horta Chapel, or the Maison des Médecins de Charleroi...
So many new stories told in light that intertwine to join those of the Hôtel Cohn-Donnay.
And you, what will your story be there?
The Artist
Violaine Alghisi is a visual artist and photographer from Brussels with Italian origins. She is a reflection of her mixed cultures...
Between Northern Surrealism and Latin Poetry, soft and baroque, her photographic adventures give a glimpse of powerful impressions of sensuality, strength and assumed tenderness.
At the antipodes of the search for performance, her intimate work favours instinct and feeling, with the encounters that punctuate his life as material...
De Ultieme Hallucinatie: Back to the roots
The Hotel Cohn-Donnay - better known today by the name of the Brasserie it houses - is a symbol of Art Nouveau and is reviving its long tradition of art and culture. After having been the setting for the music and intimate life of the virtuosa Marie Pleyel, and then a mecca for the nightlife of the 1980s, it is now destined to highlight and preserve the stories and heritage it houses.
Reopened to the public in 2019 by a lover of beautiful stones and the art of living, the building is resolutely accessible to all and now offers, in addition to its Belgian brasserie, event spaces and meeting rooms. It has also become a refuge for Brussels storytellers every third Friday of the month, the venue for the Hallucinated Visits by the Brussels zieverologist Phillipe Baudot, as well as for jazz projects orchestrated by Bénédicte Williot.
The long work of preserving and restoring the architectural heritage and the somewhat crazy project of creating the Marie Pleyel Museum are also well underway. However, it is possible that the opening of our Jazz Cabaret and our first classical concerts will precede them. A little time, a lot of work and a lot of fun ahead...
For Art Nouveau Brussels 2023, we are pleased to produce and host an exhibition combining the architecture of bodies with Art Nouveau and to host the closing night of the BANAD festival.
What do all these proposals have in common? Perhaps a desire for excellence and a little extra soul.
And if you too came to join the Ultieme to the Pleasant...

Stratigraphies
Stratigraphies" looks at the concept of "ghost places " and how they remain etched in our memories long after they have disappeared. The use of salt and water from Transylvania as basic materials for printing photographs reconnects with erased territories . Salt prints from the Turda mine - Transylvania.
The vernacular photos of Romania presented as a counter-shot to the work of Cristina Epure at the Tiny Gallery come from the old collections of the Astra Museum in Sibiu. The ASTRA Museum is one of the most dynamic public museums in Romania in terms of the preservation and active promotion of tangible and intangible cultural heritage of ethnographic value. Photographic testimonies of a rural civilization, the images are the mirror of the relationship of man , often alone in front of his often immense space. The contemporary prints produced by the ancient technique of salted paper inscribe the photographs in a permanence of the material .

The spirit of Art Nouveau, Photographs by Gilbert De Keyser
As part of the Art Nouveau Year 2023. Exploration of Art Nouveau treasures in our capital, through Gilbert De Keyser's eyes and a hundred or so of his photographs.
As a young photographer, Gilbert De Keyser (Brussels, 1925-2001) focused on the streets of Brussels in the 1950s and the demolitions that were taking place against the 19th century-built heritage. He smoothly moved from a sad and nostalgic look at the changing city, to a more precise evocation of the details of the eclectic and Art Nouveau houses threatened with destruction. He finally focused with exceptional intensity on the latter aspect. The exhibition will bring together about a hundred of these photographic images that combine both documentary and artistic qualities. Some of them are period black & white prints, others are coloured slides.

Femmes de Bruxelles à New York
“Femmes de Bruxelles à New York.” Vincent Nicholls' work premiered at the "Le Central" brasserie in Jette. The woman in all her aspects, spontaneously photographed in various cities between Brussels and New York, beautifully portrayed in a series of 17 black and white photos on large-format Chromalux and Baryta.
Vincent, a police officer in Brussels since 2003, felt a great emptiness after the turbulent period of the attacks in Brussels. In 2017, he decided to try something new: capturing street life in Brussels through his camera lens. With his first digital camera, a Fuji X-T2, he set out on his journey. A new world opened up for him.
He has tested all the possibilities of his camera and found his own style. As a true self-taught artist, he loves to experiment, and especially to capture spontaneous images. He wants to represent ordinary people and everyday situations in a special way.
Vincent loves to photograph the world and all its contrasts. He does this in Brussels, his hometown, but also in cities like London, Madrid, Bucharest, and New York. In these cities, he let his nomadic eye wander and captured his raw yet poetic view of these places. In May 2022, he took his first steps in analog photography with a very simple Kodak camera in Bucharest. This gives him even more flexibility with contrasts, emotions, and poetry.
The woman in all her aspects fascinates the photographer and is therefore at the center of this first exhibition. His eye always manages to capture her in a special way!
During his photographic journey, he was inspired by the extreme emotions of Daido Moriyama, the 84-year-old master of Japanese instant black and white photography. He was also captivated by the authenticity, spontaneity, and vision of the legendary photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson and young French photographer Gabrielle Duplantier. The works and vision of Klavdij Sluban, the French photographer with Slavic roots, motivated Vincent to follow a masterclass with him during the full COVID period. This master helped him evolve from a "street" photographer to an author who tells a story and creates an atmosphere in his photos. He is a composer photographer. During this master course, the first seeds for this first exhibition were planted.
Now is the time to show the works! At the "Le Central" brasserie in Jette. "Le Central" has something retro," says Vincent. "It is a brasserie in the Parisian style, with the atmosphere of the beginning of the last century. It is located at a crossroads with a roundabout, there is traffic and movement. The visitors are diverse and cosmopolitan. The food and drinks are good. This place tells a story, my photos do too."

View from my window
A photo exhibition displaying the experience of connecting worldviews in a time of isolation.
Initiated in March 2020 by Barbara Duriau, the 3 million member Facebook group View from my window collects intimate and collective testimonies from millions of confined people around the world. At the Atomium, from March 24th, the temporary exhibition "View from my window" gathers a selection of more than 400 photographs among the 200,000 images from this Belgian success story with a worldwide echo.
From New York to Moscow, Brussels, Sao Paulo or Darjeeling... Every day, from their window, the members of this 2.0 community capture and share their view.
The exhibition "View from my window" translates a human experience and offers a sensitive and poetic dive into the intimacy of all those who have gone through this very special event. The exhibition, which is based on audio-visual installations, prints, webcams and time-lapses, gives a playful attention to the visit.
Ordinary or breathtaking, each photo is accompanied by a simple caption or a powerful life story.
Through this exhibition, the Atomium is delighted to dedicate its spaces and its exceptional panorama of the Belgian capital, the cradle of Europe, to a humanist project conceived as a powerful invitation to share and travel.
When one door closes, many windows open!

Defected Times
Defected Times is Daphné Le Sergent’s first exhibition in Belgium. It presents two sets of works, based on two parallel narratives on traditional film photography and the digital image, two episodes in a fable about memory that has image as its central focus.
"Identifying the raw material that lies behind the representation is not only a way of
considering our images against the distant echo of an economic context but also of
questioning how the gaze travels over the surface of these material forms." Daphné Le Sergent

Do-rag (ˈduːˌræɡ
Contrasting the beauty of the durag and the people who wear them, with their negative perception within Western society.
Following on from his 2021 exhibition Hooyo which celebrated headscarves, Rami Hara presents his latest project to date; Do-rag (ˈduːˌræɡ. For this body of work, the artist’s focal point is the durag, a piece of cloth (or wave cap) that is used as a tool for self-care and as a cultural emblem.
The durag has been around for centuries, the term originating in the United States but appearing all over the African Diaspora. Its primary function has always been self-care. Gradually, it has also taken on an important role as a cultural symbol and as a fashion accessory. Like many other representations of black culture, it has been subjected to prejudice. The durag is often associated with gang violence and crime, and more specifically with the way black men have been perceived negatively throughout history. This discrimination was the starting point for Rami Hara, whose aim with this series is to bring attention to the sheer beauty of the durag and its culture. Often inspired by fashion photography, their bright colours and uncluttered environments, this series carries a softness that contrasts with the negative perception of durags and the people who wear them, forcing the viewers to question their own biases. Do-rag (ˈduːˌræɡ is a way for Rami Hara to highlight the everyday simplicity and delicacy of the object, and to reclaim these harmful narratives.
Rami Hara is a Belgian Somalian artist, living and working in Brussels. Self-taught photographer, he graduated from the LUCA School of Arts with a masters degree in Visual Arts. Rami Hara never goes anywhere without his camera, ready to capture his surroundings in an instant. Through his lens, he wants to tell stories and tackle various socio-political issues. Humans are at the heart of Rami Hara’s creative process. Rami Hara’s work brings to light a multicultural cosmopolitan society, enriched by outside contributions. Combining artistic and documentary photography, his work is a testimony to his underlying interest in storytelling. The city is his playground, where he edits his photos in the back of a coffee shop and scour markets for cameras or lenses.
