Baosheng Dadi

0 Comments

 
Baosheng Dadi (保生大帝) is a Chinese god of medicine worshiped in Chinese folk religion and Taoism most popularly in Fujian and Taiwan.
The historical figue of Wu Tao or Wu Ben was born in the village of Bailiao near Xiamen in Fujian Province, during the Song Dynasty in the year 979. He was a skilled doctor and Taoist practitioner who was credited with performing medical miracles, including applying eye drops to a dragon’s eye and removing a foreign object from a tiger’s throat. After his death in 1036, he began to be worshiped as a deity. His deified status was officially recognized by the Hongxi Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who conferred on him the title of “Imperial Inspector at Heavenly Gate, Miracle Doctor of Compassion Relief, Great Taoist Immortal, and the Long-lived, Unbounded, Life Protection Emperor. He is worshiped at many temples in Fujian and Taiwan. His birthday is celebrated with parades and festivals on the 15th day of the third lunar month. The series were made in the Island of Kinmen, Taiwan.

The Frontline Relies On You

2/27/2018

0 Comments

 
For the last two year I have working on a project on the small Taiwanese islands of Kinmen and Matsu. These tiny islands in between the island of Taiwan and mainland China tell the complex story on how both nations with a common past, still have a tense relationship. Since all the attention nowadays goes to mainland China, this project focus on the underdog of history, the Republic of China, better know as Taiwan.
 
A part of the project has been published on Scopio Network and was part of Encontros Da Imagem 2017 in Braga.

FOTOFORUM BRASSCHAAT 22 maart

Fotografen in gesprek
​m.m.v. Harry Gruyaert, Bieke Depoorter, Jan Rosseel en Franky Verdickt.

Onder leiding van Joachim Naudts (curator FOMU Antwerpen) praten deze 4 fotografen over hun passie voor fotografie. Bieke Depoorter is lid van het vermaarde fotoagentschap Magnum. Haar fotografie bracht haar de wereld rond, van de Trans-Siberische spoorlijn via the Big Apple tot aan de Egyptische revolutie.  Harry Gruyaert is sinds 1982 Magnumfotograaf. Hij publiceerde meerdere boeken over zijn fotografisch werk, onder meer over Marokko en België. Vooral contrasterend licht en kleuren zijn kenmerkend voor zijn foto’s.  Jan Rosseel realiseerde een opvallend essay over de Bende van Nijvel waarvan zijn vader een van de slachtoffers was. Hiermee introduceerde hij een nieuwe vorm van documentairefotografie waarin hij de realiteit met fictie mengt. In zijn autonoom werk als fotograaf gaat Franky Verdickt op zoek naar de ideale maatschappij. Hij toont echte plaatsen en echte mensen, maar neemt een loopje met de realiteit. In feite creëert hij zijn eigen interpretatie van die perfecte plaats.

Locatie: Theater Hemelhoeve, Azalealaan 1 (voorheen Gemeentepark 8), 2930 Brasschaat
Start: 20.30u
Tickets vvk: 3 euro – Kassa: 4 euro
