Solo Exhibition – Stieglitz19 – Antwerp, BE
In October I will present my latest work ‘Conference of the Birds’ at Stieglitz19 gallery in Antwerp. The exact date is to be announced later this year. The work shows an outtake from an analysis of the correlation between time and place and of the historical landscape of Iran. How do places appear and disappear? How do we attach meaning to a certain site and in what way photography can deal with deconstructed icons in comparison to the (a-)historical palm tree sticking its tongue out towards the straight forward photographed Iranian landscape.

Darren Campion on Conference of the Birds for Paper Journal
’’Here he tackles it in perhaps a more straightforward way than previously; where his earlier 2099 uses a variety of pictorial techniques, in this case, Vanoverberghe sticks to one fairly plain visual style. But there is also a fundamental consistency at work here too, down to the sense of actual, as well as historical, circularity in how the pictures are related. What stands out is a sense of our relationship to the past as something ambiguous and unresolved, a constellation of possible answers. This is not a photographer taking on a single historical ‘theme’ and building a project around that; Vanoverberghe undertakes an investigation that is at once more literal – he studies the terrain and the photographs are the product of that study – but also refuses the very terms that would make such a study comprehensible. However comprehensive the mapping seems to be, it actually emphasises the limitations of what can be made visible in this way. The pictures link together across the space of the former village, we can see the repeated elements – a clump of palm trees in the foreground of one picture moves to the background of another, for example – everything seems to be accounted for, and yet the more we look the more discontinuities become apparent; there are gaps in the record.’’ by Darren Campion
