Young Gallery, Brussels: Exhibition of Nick Brandt, “A Shadow Falls”

Posted on November 17, 2009 | 2 comments

Rewind, November 10, 8 p.m.: arriving at the Conrad Hotel, surprise surprise, it’s crowded in front of the Young Gallery. My first opening in Brussels, course Nick Brandt is a star. Ok, I make my way through peolpe to get in the gallery: “Excuse me, are you a press officer?“. And I find myself in front of a press photographer’s camera of the opening. I cheese and catch my kind gallery officer: “Well, I’d like to make an interview of Nick Brandt, the photographer“, “Oh! He’s…mmmh around. He’s got a jacket with inscriptions on his back“. Good…”And what does he look like?“, “My height, not really tall“, “Thanks!“. Perplexed. An amused look at the moving crowd: how locating in half light an inscription on jacket’s back? Fantastic pictures (big crush on the elephants ones) and great gallery’s atmosphere: I quickly forget the interview for those snapshots! Enjoy!

Young Gallery, Bruxelles: Exposition de Nick Brandt, “A Shadow Falls”

Posted on November 17, 2009 | 2 comments

Rewind, mardi 10/11, 20h j’arrive au Conrad Hotel: surprise, un monde fou devant la Young Gallery. Mon premier vernissage bruxellaire, certes Nick Brandt est une star. Ok, me “fraye” un chemin dans la galerie bondée: “Escusez-moi, vous vous occupez de la presse?“. Et je me retrouve nez à nez avec l’objectif de la photographe du vernissage. Souris, rattrape au vol un membre de la galerie: “Heu non, je souhaiterai interviewer le photographe“, “Oh il doit être quelque part par là, il a une veste avec une inscription au dos“. Humm Mwoui… “Et il ressemble?“, “Ma taille, pas très grand“, “Merci!“. Perplexe. Amusée, j’interroge du regard la foule telle un GPS virtuel en littuanien: comment localiser dans cette masse mouvante une inscription au dos d’une veste? Les photos sont superbes (suis fane des éléphants), la galerie très agréable, j’oublie vite interview et GPS littuanien, pour ces snapshots!
