 Franky Verdickt

Het werk van Verdickt (1971) toont een fascinatie hoe ideeën en ideologieën tot een visueel verhaal kunnen komen. Aanvankelijk mengde hij documentaire fotografie met conceptuele ideeën die een dunne lijn suggereren tussen realiteit en fictie. Steeds meer ontwikkelt zijn werk zich tot documentaire fotografie. Als eigenaar van twee boeken ‘The South Street Village’ en ‘Nobody Likes To Be Hindered By Worldly Troubles’, zal hij dit jaar zijn derde boek publiceren over de ambivalente positie van Taiwan. Zijn persoonlijk werk is internationaal bekroond en gepubliceerd. Franky Verdickt werd geboren in België in 1971, waar hij in 2007 afstudeerde aan LUCA School of Arts, hij woont momenteel in Brussel waar hij werkt aan zijn eigen werk en werkt voor opdrachten voor Knack, Trends, De Morgen, etc..

NOBODY LIKES TO BE HINDERED BY WORDLY TROUBLES 
A book that gets a new meaning throughout time. Wouldn't we be all want to be a in trouble-less world now? This book is a longing to escape into a trouble-less, and perfect world, a kind of naive desire for a peaceful beautiful world.  The book creates a poetic world where where travel and escape was easy.

THE SOUTH STREET VILLAGE
The South Street Village is mild ironic view on the last and only Maoist village in China.

The Belgian Platform for Photobooks is an online space dedicated to the contemporary photobook in Belgium. Through articles, interviews, an online book catalogue and offline events, it aims to inform, but also to engage and inspire a growing photobook community.
Embedded within the artistic research program of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, the platform offers a source of information for students, photographers, artists, designers and anyone with an interest in photobooks.
Functioning as a catalyst, the platform wants to stimulate and support not only the creation of photobooks in Belgium, but also the reflection, the discussion and the research on the book as an artistic medium to present a photographic body of work.
As an online platform it serves as a networking and communication tool to connect Belgian photobook culture with an international photobook community and audience.
The Belgian Platform for Photobooks is coordinated by Stefan Vanthuyne as part of a research project at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp / AP University College and with the support of the research groups Thinking Tools and ArchiVolt.

"From Albania with sun" in the german newspaper Die Zeit

During ten days I zigzagged along the Irish-Northern Irish border, I saw many sheep, creeks, bridges and concerned people against a complete absurdity that could turn into a nightmare. This week Knack brings my series and text on brexit.
