Jacques Sonck - Lotgenoten

Without judging Jacques Sonck confronts the viewer with charming and peculiar individuals looking straight into the camera: loners, eccentrics, drop-outs and deformed. In his own words: "Somehow I try to document the people living in this era and in this part of the world I am living in. It is the diversity that is interesting. We are all different and yet equal. Maybe through my work spectators learn to see differently, full of empathic curiosity for my subjects. That we are all different is the leitmotiv, and that we are proud of it is the message."
