Curated by Spazio Nobile Gallery, Lise Coirier and Gian Giuseppe Simeone, Panoramic is a tribute to the enduring precision and quiet power of Vercruysse’s gaze, framed within a space marked for erasure, yet momentarily transformed into a site of reflection and vision. Staged in a modernist 1970s villa in Knokke Le Zoute— where Vlassak-Verhulst will soon build a unique project —the exhibition becomes a metaphor for transience and memory. Panoramic is both a title and a lens—a way of seeing that expands the horizon of perception. In this fifteen-year retrospective of Belgian photographer Frederik Vercruysse, Panoramic captures a practice rooted in architecture, abstraction, and the poetic weight of silence.

The term evokes wide-angle vision, but also a conceptual approach that resists fragmentation in favor of clarity, rhythm, and structure. In contemporary art, Panoramic transcends format to suggest an encompassing perspective—temporal, spatial, and emotional. It speaks to the artist’s desire to hold time still, to document transformation without nostalgia, to find sculptural permanence in the ephemeral. In photography, the panoramic image traditionally stretches the frame, inviting immersion. Vercruysse does more: he expands his subject into meditative fields of texture and light, often hovering between reality and reverie.
