Presentation IPFA / Reporting Photography Festivals by Pablo Giori

Pablo Giori is co-director of the International Photography Festivals Association, the Experimental Photo Festival, and Ágora, School of Experimentation. His career combines academic research and cultural management, focusing on teaching and collective projects that promote sustainability, inclusivity, and a forward-looking approach to understanding photography’s role in contemporary society.

Saturday 24 January 2026
1:00pm

After a noteworthy first presentation at Paris Photo in November 2025, Hangar Gallery is proud to unveil Sylvie Bonnot's new series - Le Royaume des moustiques  in Brussels.

In the French Guiana Amazon, the artist went to meet the allochthonous communities who have found refuge there through the upheavals of history. Bushinenge and Hmong cosmogonies intersect here, where lianas weave the links between worlds.

Pursuing her performative approach to landscape and image, Sylvie Bonnot presents a new body of unique works created using her distinctive “moulting” process, by lifting the silver gelatin membrane from her prints. The crystallized creases in her works echo the intertwined narratives of this equatorial territory in perpetual transformation, the scene of a visceral sharing of resources.

10th Edition - PhotoBrussels Festival

Founded in 2016, PhotoBrussels Festival has, over the years, established itself as a major event for contemporary photography in Brussels, Belgium, and across Europe. For its 10th edition, the festival brings together 52 exhibitions presented by contemporary art galleries, home galleries, art centers, and museums, each offering a unique perspective on the photographic medium. More than 100 artists — half of whom are Belgian — explore the richness and diversity of a visual language deeply rooted in our time, reaching an ever-growing and curious audience.

The Anonymous Project by Lee Shulman presents The House

The first exhibition, The House, presented by The Anonymous Project and created by Lee Shulman, became one of the highlights of the Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles (2019). Designed as a fully immersive experience, this exhibition goes beyond merely displaying images by recreating the atmosphere of the 1950s. In an era when family photography was an intimate and discreet act, it invites visitors to explore a space where every object, every light, and every image interact to bring memories and everyday gestures to life.

Objets trouvés - Robin Lopvet

Réalisée lors d’une résidence à Bruxelles par Robin Lopvet (FR, 1990), la série Objets trouvés s’inscrit dans la continuité d’une recherche sur la nature morte contemporaine. Ici, le principe de collecte et de composition se déplace dans l’espace urbain : la ville devient un vaste terrain d’exploration où les objets photographiés remplacent les éléments d’atelier.

All the places and the places between - Antoine De Winter

All the places and the places between explores photographic apparition as a retinal persistence of the sun, an echo turning into a murmur, a memory that shatters. This series reveals place while simultaneously fragmenting it, allowing memory to crack and recompose itself according to intimate geologies, where reality oscillates between emergence and disappearance, transforming remembrance into a hybrid territory.

MAURICE, Tristesse et rigolade / Charlotte Abramow

MAURICE, Tristesse et rigolade tells the story of a struggle—one man’s battle with illness—and of a rebirth, carried by the love of a daughter. Somewhere between documentary storytelling and surreal tale, this visual and poetic narrative resonates as a timeless tribute from Belgian photographer Charlotte Abramow to her father, Maurice. For the first time, this intimate work takes the form of an immersive exhibition, presented at Hangar.
