Jacqueline Mesmaeker

1975

Photography, 36 x (29,7 x 21 cm, framed: 50 x 39,5 cm).
Materials: photographs mounted on tracing paper and typed text

Collection: M HKA/ Collection Flemish Community (Inv. no. BK008010).

Jacqueline Mesmaeker’s conceptual work sets a form of visual thinking in motion. For 21 mars 1975 17h23, she asks various people to take a photo of their current location on 21 March at exactly 17:23. By bringing together 36 simultaneous snapshots in a series, Mesmaeker brings about a reversal in the relationship between time and space inherent to photography. Whereas a photographer is normally bound to one place and can shoot a series of images that develop over time, in this way she succeeds in showing a series of places at one single point in time.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
