Projet Reverse

Role reversal of people with and without disabilities

A collaboration with the Ateliers Kräizbierg

History

I have always had a passion
for video and photography

2018

Did I find an opportunity to photograph with my disability.

2019

I decided to make a photo calendar for my circle and planned everything.

2020

The first shootings were planned which were all canceled due to the pandemic.

2021

The first shootings were planned, which were all canceled due to the pandemic.

2022

After I started again in Kräizbierg. I decided to present my concept to them and thus not only to bring my art to more people but also to support Ateliers Kräizbierg, which employs over 100 people with disabilities.

Concept

I don't just want to take beautiful photos, I want to give people a message with my pictures and make them think.

It was also important for us to bring the issue of disability to the fore. To show the power of people with disabilities and to question what people call "normal".

I think a photo calendar where the roles of people with and without disabilities are reversed will express exactly what I want to express.

Standard
Reversed

What do I want to accomplish with the project?

A handicap is not an obstacle

The ability of people with disabilities to be highlighted

Normalitéit a Fro stellen. Wat ass iwwerhaapt normal?

Being recognized as a photographer, even with my handicap.

The calendar is officially available.

The calendar was produced in a completely inclusive manner by people with disabilities. Of course, it is made from 100% recycled paper and manufactured in Europe and for every one sold I will plant one tree on Tree-Nation.

The calendar is sold in Diddeleng on the site of the Foundation Kräizbierg.
