Jim Campers
Jim Campers (°1990) grew up in Antwerp, Belgium, the place where he still lives and works.
His work balances the thin line between documentary and fiction; historical research fuses with personal and fictive narratives. Images are shown in an exhibition installation, designed and built by himself specifically for the site and in relation to the project itself. The images and installation tend to establish a dialogue between themselves as well as with the audience, instead of merely informing the viewer from a singular viewpoint. Genres and styles are mixed, instituting a way of working in which the world is explored through analogy and association, rather than through objective (or scientific) description. This stems from a certain reluctance toward a tightly controlled message and the explicit desire to leave room for the viewer, who is invited to develop his his their own understanding of what this means.
