Iwein De Keyzer


Iwein De Keyzer (°1985, Aalst, BE) lives and works in Aalst (BE). His artis­tic prac­tice explores the inter­ac­tion between acci­den­tal, intu­itive images and care­fully staged moments. By inter­weav­ing pho­tog­ra­phy, col­lage tech­niques and found objects, his work hov­ers between the recog­nis­able and the imag­i­nary. Place and con­text are cru­cial in his work and serve as start­ing points in his cre­ative process. Fascinated by human inter­ven­tions and the traces they leave in the (outdoor)environment, Iwein adopts the atti­tude of a bricoleur, work­ing with what is there. His work invites reflec­tion on the every­day aspects that sur­round us but often go unnoticed.

Iwein is also teach­ing at the Academy of Fine Arts in Aalst and is co-founder of ROTOR, a place that offers space and time for artis­tic cre­ation, exper­i­men­ta­tion and presentation.
