About

Franky Verdickt werkte twee jaar aan dit project in het enige Maoïstische dorp in China. Dit resulteerde in een consistente serie beelden met een utopische kijk op een utopische realiteit. Mensen lijken te bestaan als figuranten in een gigantisch episch verhaal. De fotograaf maakt nachtopnames, die het theatrale en onwerkelijke in de foto’s naar boven doet komen.

Franky Verdickt graduated in 2007 as a Master in Photography with magna cum laude from the Institute for Higher Education of Visual Arts Sint Lukas Brussels.

His photography is a journey to discover the ideal society, the utopia. The theatrical approach he takes emphasizes the potential for control over reality. His work shows, as in documentary photography, the real places and the real people; however, beneath this is an ironic criticism of the ideology and of the search for perfection. Verdickt’s work can be interpreted as showing the human desire for perfection, and yet the impossibility of its existence, unless within the imagination.
