About 

​

​

Nele Van Canneyt is a visual photographic artist living in Belgium who projects her dreamworld onto reality. In her photographic work, she frequently mirrors a silent reality in unstaged images.

Her pictures evoke the dialogue between the inner world of thoughts and experiences and the visible reality. Nele Van Canneyt often photographs in anticipation of the night, creating a transitional zone between day and night.

As an avid traveller Nele has a vast archive of pictures, and in recent years she is combining photos from different locations in series. This reveals new and compelling connections between unrelated images. It’s evident that each and every image can be viewed separately, but just as with text or image fragments in a film, the meaning shifts due to context or the order in which we read the visual information.

Her book 'As If the Day Never Existed' was released simultaneously with the series being shown in Canada during 'Rencontres internationales de la photographie en Gaspésie'.
