With images showing everyday life, objects of our close environment and some subtle portraits, Brussels based photographer, Sven Laurent is exploring the questions of space, time and existence, revealing the unconventional beauty of our close environment.
For me photography has always been about comfort and contemplation. Finding beauty in my close surroundings is a balancing act in order to survive the social and political turmoil of the world we live in.
Carrying a camera most of the time, I take pictures wherever I am. I don’t look for the exotic or the spectacular. Images appear to me, triggered by the light, colour, shape or perspective, revealing the beauty that often goes unseen.
In addition to his own practice, Sven’s sensitive approach to photography frequently leads to collaborations on other photographic territories always strongly influenced by his rich body of personal work. Well known for his work in contemporary art documentation and exhibition views, he’s also teaching workshops.
