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.

Opening Le Royaume des moustiques by Sylvie Bonnot
Soulèvements (Ivanaïssa), Suriname, 2025 © Sylvie Bonnot
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.

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.

Comprising four chapters across four continents—each resulting in a dedicated book—this monumental body of work explores the devastating impact of climate change on both human and non-human lives. Created during a pivotal moment marked by escalating ecological and social crises, the series responds to the urgency of a world in transformation.

Oasis - Matthieu Litt
Over the seasons, Matthieu Litt roamed the Ry-Ponet park, located in the Liège region. This valley, of high biological and scenic value, both natural and fragile, is coveted by property developers and therefore under threat. In his poetic series Oasis, the photographer deliberately blurs boundaries.

Opening Hangar Gallery Paradise - Maxime Riché
Hangar gallery is glad to invite Maxime Riché with his series Paradise.
Maxime Riché visited Paradise in 2020 and then in 2021 to meet those who decided to rebuild their "paradise" in a place that now seems inhospitable. To sensitively convey the emotions of the survivors and the images that haunt them, he used film photography, intermittently employing infrared slide film. His fiery tones, flashbacks to the hell they lived through, remind us of the flames etched in their memories…read more

ATELIER/ Stephan Vanfleteren
The photographic project ATELIER by Stephan Vanfleteren is an ode to the ability to observe, represent, sublime, and ultimately, connect. The multi-award-winning Belgian photographer remains true to the style that has always defined him. Over the past twelve years, he has worked intensely at home, in the daylight-lit studio of his workshop. His technical skill and artist’s heart make us both witnesses and accomplices to the incidental light, which reflects on the object as well as within his mind.
