Underneath a preview of two of our upcoming series
‘Nunsense‘ (The imaginary life of two cloistered nuns)
The series Nunsense unconventionally places two cloistered nuns into a brightly coloured 1950s atmosphere and clothing. The scenes explore what we do in a possibly hypocritical environment when we’re not seen.
En attendant ‘En Attendant’ (a Photographic prequel to Samuel Beckett’s play ‘Waiting for Godot’)
Characters Vladimir and Estragon are represented in a cloudy beach within a suspended atmosphere. As Memymom say, ‘The work floats on a sensuous surface.’ (Margherita Dessanay, Elephant Magazine, featured on Frameweb)
An ongoing series: Whodunnit
The Whodunnit series is an investigation in colour about the concept of psychological darkness, in which Lisa plays all the typical characters of a mystery plot: witness, victim and accomplice. (Margherita Dessanay, Elephant Magazine, featured on Frameweb / Also featured on Jeff Blind’s ‘Trouble in Wonderland’)
En Face / where the portrait is the central theme of the exhibition
With Nick Andrews, Stephan Balleux, Geoffrey De Beer, Lisa De Boeck, Nick Ervinck, Manor Grunewald, Tom Liekens, Stefan Martens, Nadia Naveau, Lieven Segers, Vadim Vosters en Cindy Wright.

“Lisa DE BOECK en haar moeder Marilène COOLENS vormen als MEMYMOM een fotografenduo met een ongelooflijke zin voor beeldvorming, ritmiek en sfeerschepping. Het zuiver artistieke discours dat ze, naast hun beroepsmatig werk in reclame- en andere opdrachten, ontwikkelen, situeert zich in video en fotografie. Waar de tijd bij hun videoprojecties, zoals hier in de voormalige kapel, al heel traag verloopt, komt hij in de daaraan ontleende foto’s helemaal tot stilstand of worden sommige van hun personages in een eindeloze kronkel met zichzelf verstrengeld. Ook hier is introspectie (of noem het in deze omgeving dan maar contemplatie) duidelijk aan de orde” (Artspotter, Waterschoenen)
Our new series and video, still a work in progress, are online
