Curator’s statement:
Mostly geometrical forms playfully arranged in layers create new colour compositions, which is what this series is all about.
Eddie Bonesire's colourful collage-like photography series makes me think of a project by Belgian artist Toon Leën involving a lecture performance and a publication under the title: "Personally, I'm most interested in the shapes and colours".
But let there not be any doubt, these photographic works are not fictional, they are real.

Bonesire’s recipe:
a camera
a stack of discarded lifestyle magazines
a pair of household scissors
no glue, no glue!
Almost frantically (in what should be a form of meditation, though),
start cutting out pages from the magazines.
Turn a blind eye to any underlying message or meaning, and
merely engage with whatever colours and shapes are appealing.
Move bits and pieces around, and around and around.
Photograph each intermediary stage – thereby creating a sediment of layers –
until something falls into place that was not there before:
a dynamic collage that turns the iconography of household luxury
into a new composition with a sense of
space, depth, abstraction … and possibilities.
Eddie Bonesire (born in Ghent, Belgium) studied translation and interpreting at UC Louvain,
and photography at Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie (Berlin-Weißensee).
