About the artist
Pieter Geenen, born 1979, lives and works in Brussels. After his Master's degree in photography he completed the international postgraduate program Transmedia at Sint-Lukas University College of Art and Design in Brussels. In his work he shows interest in the suggestive and evocative qualities of the landscape, in relation to the personal and collective memory and identity. He wishes to translate the complexity of a certain geo-political or geo-social reality into a general reflection on the concept of borders, (home)land, (national)identity and migration. In his work the image manifests itself slowly, exploring the subtle and hidden characteristics of things. Listening and watching becomes intense, intimate, alienative, contemplative and almost tangible in an undisturbed stillness.
