WINNER

— Frederik Heyman

Frederik Heyman’s work is a balancing act incorporating multiple media, resulting in digital installations and video’s that stage digital worlds out of relics of the past. In each image every element and action are carefully designed and defined in advance. This reflects in his commissioned works (e.g. for Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Arca, Nike, …) as well in his personal, more eclectic oeuvre. Technology and the human body are the protagonists in his work.

— Laetitia Bica

Laetitia Bica is a contemporary artist who places research at the heart of her work. Her artistic work interweaves the different areas in which she evolves as a professional photographer, integrated into the world of publishing, fashion and videoclips, as well as theater and dance. For Bica, the photographic image should establish a dialogue with the viewer, but above all it should be the trace of a collaboration between photographer and model. Conceived as a discussion between several actors, Bica’s work can be seen as a bridge between several artistic practices, bringing photography closer to performance art.
