High gloss Chromaluxe print on aluminum. Comes with certificate of authenticity. My art finds its roots in ontology, the study of the nature of being, and in phenomenology, the branch of philosophy that studies the structure of perception. Without being too technical, I'd like to give hereafter some quick words of explanation on the personal reflexion that led me to create this series of multiple exposure photographs. The central concept at its heart is based on the philosophical idea that all reality around us is uttelry chaotic and unstable. This vision of the world as an ever-changing place is not exactly new. Heraclitus of Ephesus already stated this very idea in the 5th century BC ("panta rhei", which means "everything flows"), and it remains more actual than ever today. For better of worse, we live in a world that is evolving at a very rapid pace, and we can all feel it. However, despite it's inherently chaotic nature, we human beings tend to perceive the reality around us as something more or less stable. We need a sense of structure and permanence if we want to remain sane. This is highly paradoxical. On the one hand, reality gives itself to perceive as stable, but on the other hand, we can feel it as intrinsically unstable. I call this dichotomy the great ontological treachery. My multiple exposure photographs are attempts to restore balance by visually expressing the concepts of chaos, stress and instability, and to question our way of seeing the world as a stable place. By superimposing several exposures, I try to convey that "panta rhei" feeling that the world is an ever-changing place.

Belgium
Living and working in Brussels, Thomas Vanoost is an emerging Belgian photographer born in 1982. He achieved a degree in photography in 2002 while also studying philosophy, and never stopped working on personal projects thereafter. After pursuing a carreer in the investment industry, he decided to devote himself to photography in 2015. Heavily influenced by his background as a philosopher, his work questions our relationship with the world as it appears to us as human beings and with the world as it actually is in itself. Other formats available for all photos.
