Peter H. Waterschoot

Peter H. Waterschoot (°1969, Ghent) is an artist based in Ghent, Belgium. His work is a joust with time and texture, it invites you to lose yourself in respectively: reverie, melancholy, lust, discomfort, detachment.It is an oeuvre that is carefully stripped of time and space markers.Hotels, curtains, lost glory: all fixed values in Waterschoot's photographs, depicting the moment after, or before the event. A Janus look on the current of time; is it a story on nostalgia or a future dystopia? We see a cinematographic dreamworld built with elements from the real world; nevertheless referring to literature, film and music, asking questions about our place as a human species in a fast-changing world. The photographer makes us dive into a comfortingly solitary one-ness.SUNSET MEMORY descends slowly, through neon blue, from freezing cold nights into warmtoned covert corners.Waterschoot investigates a wild chromatic spectrum, from saffron gold to electric blue. His work is an ungoing aesthetic investigation with strong meditative undercurrent. 
His photowork makes you experience a compelling, enigmatic, ominous but yet comforting magical realism.
