Nele Van Canneyt

BIO

Nele Van Canneyt is a photographer from Kortrijk who uses unstaged photographs to project a dream world onto reality, drawing viewers into the scenes she creates through her lens. Cities and urban environments are among the subjects that intrigue her the most. In her search for serenity, a certain play of light, the impenetrable, the unexpressed, she often relies on serendipity and her ability to capture fleeting moments. She finds these sensory worlds both at during the day and at night. At a later stage of the selection process, she searches for contextual relationships, often grouping locations and moments in time into a series. Nele’s work has been exhibited both in Belgium and abroad. Her solo exhibition ‘Binnenland/Inner land’ at the Arentshuis museum in Bruges inspired her to photograph more frequently in Belgium.
