Project

The Photo Archive Fritz Mayer van den Bergh: High Society's visual culture, then and now.

The research group Thinking Tools from the Antwerp Academy for Fine Arts, proposes, in collaboration with the Antwerp Museum Mayer van den Bergh, a historical and artistic research project for the Museum's unpublished photo collection. The (photo) historical research into this yet to be disclosed collection and its background in visual culture then and now is also organized as a didactic project, and formulated as a challenging assignment for the BA students Photography. Charlotte Lybeer and Els Vanden Meersch create new artistic work (photography‐film) inspired by the photo archive.
