Iwein De Keyzer (°1985, Aalst, BE) lives and works in Aalst (BE). His artistic practice explores the interaction between accidental, intuitive images and carefully staged moments. By interweaving photography, collage techniques and found objects, his work hovers between the recognisable and the imaginary. Place and context are crucial in his work and serve as starting points in his creative process. Fascinated by human interventions and the traces they leave in the (outdoor)environment, Iwein adopts the attitude of a bricoleur, working with what is there. His work invites reflection on the everyday aspects that surround us but often go unnoticed.
Iwein is also teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts in Aalst and is co-founder of ROTOR, a place that offers space and time for artistic creation, experimentation and presentation.
