How Wondrous the Other Through the Artist’s Glance
How Wondrous the Other Through the Artist’s Glance
28 Vignon street is pleased to host the exhibition that started now at the Gallery FIFTY ONE, in Antwerp.
This exhibition brings together a remarkable collection of works by renowned and lesser known photographers, including William Klein, Saul Leiter, Harry Gruyaert, Nobuyoshi Araki, Rineke Dijkstra, Walker Evans, and many others. These artists, each with their distinctive approaches, delve into the intricate interplay between subject and observer, presenting photographs that prominently feature one or more individuals as the focal point.
Rather than adhering to a fixed theme, How Wondrous the Other Through the Artist’s Glance offers an open invitation to reflect on the transformative power of the artist’s gaze. Every image serves as a portal into the unique relationship between photographer and subject, capturing moments that transcend mere documentation. The exhibition explores how photography elevates the act of looking, into an art form that questions identity, presence, and our shared humanity.
Through the works on display, viewers are prompted to consider questions that are both deeply personal and universally resonant: How do we perceive others? How does the act of observation shape our understanding of human connection? And how does an artist’s choices—of framing, focus, and context—transform fleeting moments into enduring works of art?
Each photograph tells a story, weaving a tapestry of diverse perspectives and visual narratives. From the intimate and introspective to the bold and provocative, the exhibition celebrates the richness and complexity of human interaction as seen through the lens of a camera. It invites us to pause, to look deeper, and to discover the profound wonder in seeing and being seen.
How Wondrous the Other Through the Artist’s Glance is a celebration of the human spirit, immortalised through the lens of photography. It reminds us of the timeless interplay between subject, observer, and artist—a dialogue that continues to shape how we understand ourselves and each other.
