‘change fair’ is a solo presentation of Liesbet Grupping.

Using (and ‘abusing’) the materiality of the photographic object, Liesbet Grupping challenges our assumptions about what photography is or can be. To capture the world of light; this seems indeed an appropriate way to define photography. But, what does ‘capture’ mean in this instance?

[...] Suppose I were to begin by saying that I had fallen in love with a color. Suppose I were to speak this as though it were a confession; suppose I shredded my napkin as we spoke. It began slowly. An appreciation, an affinity. Then, one day, it became more serious. Then (looking into an empty teacup, its bottom stained with thin brown excrement coiled into the shape of a sea horse) it became somehow personal.

And so I fell in love with a color — in this case, the color blue —as if falling under a spell, a spell I fought to stay under and get out from under, in turns. [...]

‘change fair’ is also open during BORGER Nocturne on 25.10.24 till 21:00
