Photography catalogues the world. It reproduces it. It archives it and objectifies it, while also depicting it. More than ever, the precision of the technique and its instantaneous nature determine our relationship with the world. But one has to choose from what angle to look at things. This time, ruins have been chosen by the Antwerp photography museum as the starting point for a new instalment of its "Archives of the Imagination" series. At once traces of the past and remains of the present, ruins are both monuments and moments in history. When captured in a photograph, they function as an aid to our faulty memories. They leave us grappling with the multiple dimensions of a past that both evades us and imposes itself on our consciousness. Take a stroll, around the Henry Le Bœuf Hall, amid the ruins of the imagination.
