Hannah Van der Haeghen (Belgium) documents to influence the flow of time.

Her practice starts from photography, where she explores the tension between memory, connection and the desire to hold on to it.In her ‘found footage’ work, she brings new relationships into the existing imagery of her family archive and finds a universal visual language within the highly personal.

By using other mediums, she is able to deepen the materiality and legibility of her work. Recently, she has used screen printing, transfer techniques and embroidery on textiles to give visual memories a physical, tactile dimension.

Her work is a reflection on the tragedy between image and narrative. She creates beauty in the intangible and invites her audience to reflect on the intimate yet shared nature of memories and the passage of time.
