FADING MEMORIES
"As time goes by memories fade away. What once was sharp, crisp and vivid in our minds, gets blurred. Shapes and colours disappear. No matter how hard we fight. Bits and pieces are gone to never come back.
With Fading Memories I try to visualise this feeling of losing the details. Time has been put to a stop. Details are gone. The images take on a dreamlike surreal atmosphere.
But even the most fragile memory can bring back the whole story. And most of the time, we will remember what is forgotten more beautiful - if
it was tough or hard, softer - than it really was. It's what we do. It's how we survive.
In Fading Memories, I know the story behind the image. The place. The time. The people. You don't. Thanks to what you don't see, the images suggest more open stories than the ones I know. More open stories than they would do if the images were intact. So your mind will create your own story. Immediately. Don't stop it. Have Fading Memories challenge your imagination."

Dirk Roseport
Belgium
After a start in the financial world, Roseport soon moved on to the advertising sector, where he was Creative Director in several advertising agencies including Ted Bates, DMB&B, McCann Erickson, Young & Rubicam and Brandlab. For three years he was WW Creative Director at Filmnet Pay-TV (Nethold/Canal +/Richemont Group).
He worked closely with professional photographers and directors in the Benelux and abroad, got inspired by the work they did and learned from them on the sets.

Please keep in mind that the rendering of the original prints on a digital platform is only approximate and involves considerable loss of quality, contrast and depth when shown on computer monitors. With their very specific tactile values, textures and the (mostly) large formats, the original photographs are extremely difficult to reproduce. Only seeing them in reality can do them justice.

Artist talk at vcrb gallery - Antwerp
"I call him the Rothko of photography. Dirk Roseport's works are as much photograph as painting. They are Rothkosian tableaux, intriguing and infinitely layered, inviting an almost meditative experience."
Harry Tupan - Director Drents Museum
