Ingenium-photography and engineering 1846-2006 (Bozar, Brussels, 12-8-2007)

There's always a good reason to visit the Bozar but if you can see an exhibit for free there's a very good reason to go there ;-)

The Ingenium exhibit shows in 345 historical and recent pictures how we humans have shaped the earth and her natural powers.
The first rooms show photo's of nature at work: fire, water, earth, wind. The quality of the pictures is terrific!
The rest of the rooms show us all kinds of buildings and other things we have invented using these forces of nature or to use them (mining for example).
All great pictures too!

There are also several free exhibits in the Bozar right now, two of which we had not yet seen:
- Candida Höfer (beautiful pictures of empty theatres)
- Young Belgian Painters Award 2007 (not much painting but some great art!)

  1. Most of the photo's in the exhibit were ;-)
    My favourite was one of some Australian lizard watching a wildfire. If I find it some day I'll show it
