32 photographers & 23 locations

The International Photobiennial Ostend consists of several indoor and outdoor exhibitions. Central to this Photobiennial is the connection with other art forms. Each photographic work will reflect that theme in a unique, contemporary and idiosyncratic way. The route, with works by more than 30 leading (inter)national photographers, extends from Fort Napoleon to Mu.ZEE. The curator Stephane Verheye came up with '(IN)FLUENCE' for the theme of this photo exhibition, emphasising the affinity of photography with other visual arts. He chooses the location for the photographs where a symbiosis should emerge between the work and its surroundings.
