Annie Gentils Gallery

 

Marc De Blieck (b. 1958, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium) approaches photography as a nexus of technological processes, cultural conventions and aesthetic norms. Despite their simple structure, his images reveal an increasingly complex visual grammar, exposing the tension between photographic registration and artificial construction. The exhibition (S.M.A.K. - 2025 - 2026) brings together new and pre-existing work and highlights how the artist critically reflects on the manufacturability of images. De Blieck radically questions the obviousness of photographic images.
