Charlotte Bouckaert brings photography and performance together in an exploration of seeing and imagining. What happens when a photograph transforms before your eyes? When the presence of a performer, a spectator, and the interplay of print and projection keep an image in motion? This work invites you not only to look at a picture, but to experience the process behind it.

Presented at Museum M (Leuven), Kunsthal (Ghent) and De Ververij (Ronse) – and, for the first time as a complete triptych, at Beyond the Black Box festival at de Brakke Grond, Amsterdam (2026).

​

BOX – A silent exchange unfolds between viewer and unseen performer, as images appear and fade in a continuous flow.
HAND – A still image is never still. Forms shift and transform, questioning whether an image can ever truly come to rest.
PRINT – What happens when printed photographs collide with live images? Past and present converge in a layered visual encounter.
