MOMENT IN TIME
Sea I 2025 | 160x207cm
These works capture fixed moments from an ever-changing landscape. Drawing from the idea of panta rhei - everything flows - the series isolates singular points in time, pulled from the surface of rivers and skies that never repeats itself.
The photographs were taken in succession, yet no two are alike: the moment shifts, light bends, and currents fold in new directions. Each panel holds a moment in time.
The images, transferred by hand onto ultra-light 5gsm washi, are fused onto hand-folded acrylic and sealed with a protective varnish.
-You can never step in the same river twice
24-5GSM
The emulsion of a photograph is removed and transferred onto ultra-thin 5gsm paper. Once set in resin, the paper becomes invisible, leaving only the emulsion suspended — the very essence of photography.
NOT YET THE IMAGE
Not yet the image brings together new works that explore how images emerge through perception, memory, and time.
Built from multiple photographs taken through subtle shifts in distance and viewpoint and assembled across cards, plates, and varied materials, the works resist instant recognition and instead form gradually through fragments and partial views.
Inspired by early photographic experimentation and Karl Blossfeldt’s systematic plant studies, Vandebrug adopts a similarly attentive, serial gaze, but turns it toward the unstable, the in-between, and the not-yet-named. Rather than presenting fixed representations, the works stage seeing as an active process: images unfold slowly, inviting the viewer to assemble them piece by piece, as if encountering the world before it settles into certainty.

Vertical Forms
Vertical Forms looks at tree trunks not as landscape, but as structures shaped by time, growth, and interruption. Each piece is made through a photo-emulsion transfer on ultrathin, translucent washi, fused to glass so that the image remains visibly suspended behind it. The transparency allows surrounding light and wall to participate in the work, while the reflective surface gives the work a sense of fixity and fragility.
ph. Erika Rodin
Joost Vandebrug's (1982) photographic works are a testament to his underlying interest in challenging the boundaries of traditional photography, while reminiscent of the Assemblage and Xerox art movements. Through his intricately detailed and poetically tactile compositions, Vandebrug captures the essence of moments reshaped by recollection and memory. Historically, assemblage has been associated with a static logic of time, where diverse fragments are juxtaposed to become part of the same entity. In contrast, Vandebrug's compositions are not locked in such a sense of immediacy. Instead, they involve a transforming movement between the past, present, and future, creating a sense of presence that is constantly deferred. This makes it possible to perceive the works as diagrams of breakdowns, where several states overlap and emerge from each other. Vandebrug creates works that employ time in a conceptual, physical and highly sensitive manner. His practice goes beyond the personal and touches upon a universal and contemplative state.
His recent series include “Pillow Book", which explores the connections between past and present experiences, and "Exhilarating", a pictorial narrative about light and positivity. The artist employs various printing techniques such as pigment transfers and silver-gelatin prints on hand-made Washi, copper plates, and traditional Barite paper. He chooses to work with historical photographic techniques, which are susceptible and delicate and often aligns them with his subject matter. He also deviates from the photographic convention of producing and preserving flawless prints.
Joost Vandebrug is a multidisciplinary artist who studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam.
Before dedicating his career solely to his art, Joost Vandebrug was a filmmaker. His highly acclaimed documentary, Bruce and the Outlaw, follows a young homeless boy adopted by a notorious figure and living in the underground tunnels of Bucharest. This intimate documentary, which won international recognition, profoundly influenced Vandebrug's transition to art, shaping his exploration of themes such as human vulnerability, memory, and the passage of time.
