EDEN
/ No Man's Land - part III
MAD-fac Genk - course Photography
9th February 12 > 1st April 12
"Eden", the last part of the trilogy, was created by 2nd and 3rd year students from the Master's in photography at the Media, Arts and Design Academy (MAD-faculty) in Genk. Together they wanted to demonstrate that positive initiatives do exist which try to limit the damage caused by our unbridled consumption. Here it is about the recuperation of some of our refuse in order to then treat, value or recycle it. The treating or recycling of this waste is done in the classic way. But valuing it can sometimes involve surprising, artistic methods.
The whole thing is an original patchwork as a result of the joining together of the sometimes extremely diverse points of view of these students, who have played along with a lot of enthusiasm.
The students: (2nd year) Silke Baens, Muhiba Botan, Brenda Boutsen, Kaat Dewitte, Hessel Folksma, Ine Hendrix, Mark Machiels, Carole Meijers, Öznur Öztürk, Stefanie Schaut and Laureline Tilkin-Franssens. (3rd year) Jilly Bekkers, Jonathan Bessemans, Wanna Boertien, Toby Hendriks, Ilse Raps and Julie van der Vaart.
The tutors: Jos Coenen, Juul Voets and Kristof Vrancken.
Responsible for prints: Denise Claesen.
