Vincen Beeckman - On veut des zébres pas des chèvres

Through archival materials, interview excerpts, and newly-realized photos, Beeckman assembles a composite portrait of the various elements that gravitate around the life of a football team, where players and fans play the leading roles. As is usually the case in his practice, photography is not enough on its own, so there are texts and graphic elements that recur to render a layered vision of the subject he’s portraying. The result is a kind of vernacular archaeology, made up of decomposable fragments that overlap in a visual din echoing the background buzz that covers the stadiums.
