"BRUSSELS.- The Galerie Nathalie Obadia in Brussels is staging the second solo show by Valérie Belin in Belgium, three years after her previous solo show ‘Hungry Eyes’, at the FOMU in Antwerp, presenting a new set of photographs.
The exhibition revolves around works from the Still Life series, in which Valérie Belin shows us for the first time her own ‘collection’, lush and dreamlike. Her new ‘still lifes’ form a completely coherent dialogue with the Intérieurs series. The almost obsessive accumulation of objects is the grand finale linking the two series. The point is that both in her Still Life and in her Intérieurs, Valérie Belin takes us to the very edge of the border between disturbing reality and fantasy. This is a theme that has been close to her heart since as long ago as 2003, when her famous Mannequins series, in which she photographed waxwork dummies molded directly on women’s body and hand-painted, questioned us about the way that reality and fantasy are represented."
