Maxime Delvaux. Château de Chambord, Dilmun Burial Mounds, Jože Plečnik, Río Tinto, Victor Horta

We were very pleased to host the launch of the first publication dedicated to the work of Maxime Delvaux on Thursday, 29 June 2023, at 6 PM. This publication, produced in collaboration with Accattone, was presented in our exhibition space et al., located in the Marolles district of Brussels.

In this publication, architectural photographer Maxime Delvaux presents, for the first time, images created independently, without any commission. To achieve this, he followed a solitary path, visiting buildings and sites spanning a wide historical range and resonating with his personal fascinations. These five photographic series, devoted to a particular building, site, or architect, are accompanied by various types of texts written by authors from diverse backgrounds. Together, they create a new narrative inviting the reader to forge connections between images and texts. Like Maxime Delvaux’s photographic approach, these texts and their relationship with the photographs are specific to each subject, illustrating five ways of showing and telling stories about places near and far.

On this occasion, a selection of numbered prints was put on sale, and et al. was also open on Friday, 30 June, and Saturday, 1 July, from 11 AM to 6 PM.
