Boucan l’interview– BX1 Interview
Photojournalist Sander de Wilde and two of his students, Pilar Muñoz and Elena Flores, and Laurent Seghers, are hosting Aline Walsdorff’s guests this morning.
Until 30 September, visitors can view the dual photography exhibition – featuring street photography and analog photographs – by Sander’s students at the Elzenhof Cultural Centre, Avenue de la Couronne 12-14, Ixelles.
On the one hand, the street photographs convey a love for the city, spontaneity and the unexpected; on the other, the black-and-white photographs, taken on film, return to the basics of photography and allow the students themselves to experiment with the darkroom for the first time.
Listen up, live broadcasted on the radio on photography (Dutch)
Every so often Sander explains his work in the media — yes, photography on the radio. Recently he spoke at length about his some of his work, even a chicken photo!
Other artistic Projects
Alongside commissioned work, Sander develops personal visual projects exploring urban life, identity and contemporary culture.
He works as an artist, teacher, and passionate photographer capturing humanity through graphic art, journalism, and street photography in Brussels.
“I love the diversity of my job(s), that’s what keeps me sharp.”
Heavily influenced by photographers like Man Ray, Elliot Erwitt and Roger Ballen or Dutch examples like Anton Corbijn, Erwin Olaf and Ed van der Elsken Sander found his own visual language in the photographic landscape.
De Wilde also organises photography classes in Brussels.
Latest review:
“Thank you Sander for your creativity, your enthusiasm and your passion. It has been a great experience both fun and liberating to take pictures during the street walks in the street photo course and also meditative and calming developing and printing in the dark room for the analogic picture course. A great experience to learn, to experience, to share and to create.”
