Max Pinckers Bildband,

Containing over 300 photographs, the book reveals a stunning cross-section of Pinckers’ work, over the last ten years.

Pinckers (born in 1988) was initially rather sceptical of the medium of photography: when he first began to take pictures, he quickly understood that virtually everything had already been captured photographically. However, this realisation did not deter him; instead, it inspired him to more consciously explore the boundaries of the documentary genre. This resulted in his series always playing with a combination of facts and fiction. What is truth, what is perception? The photographer does not give any precise answers; rather, he delivers exiting possibilities for interpretation and association! A comprehensive photo book has now been published by Hannibal Books, to complement Pinckers’ first major retrospective at FOMU, the Antwerp Photo Museum.
