A thematic selection of photographs by Henri Senders
We live in an age of vision. Among our senses, sight has become the most stimulated of the five.
And yet, such overwhelming stimulation is gradually changing our perception to the point of making
Us question or reformulate what the act of seeing really is. Shocking, amusing, seducing images
Are projected before us every second through analogical and digital surfaces. !
Eyes move rapidly and narrowly around the small surface of a screen, guided by our fingers in
What becomes an almost tactile vision. What we see is often framed, distorted, or filtered by
Artificial constructs. !
The more we see, the more it becomes difficult to to be surprised, and seldom if ever are we
Moved or frightened by the sight of natural or manmade wonders.
Today we try to explore how this feeling can be evoked by art, through different media. We ask our
Artists to close their eyes, wait, and then open them wide again to awaken a sense dulled by the
Excesses of image consumption. We ask our audience to behold and witness for themselves if this
Dormant, ancestral emotion is still present and alive.

Born in 1958, Henri Senders started photography in 2006, without prior training, which allows him not to feel limited by technical aspects. Through practice, he found and created his own unique style, using only natural light. His photographs, whether portraits, nudes, landscapes or narrative images, are described as sensual and erotic, adopting a style that is sometimes disconcerting and even raw. Henri never has a pre-established plan for his photo shoots. All photos are the result of improvisation and intuition.
He chooses a model and a location, and depending on the weather, the mood of the day, the interaction with the model and the settings, the image takes shape. Henri favors the look of the people he works with, selected by intuition, rather than perfect bodies or faces. His work has been exhibited at the Florence Biennale 2011, the Utrecht Open Art Fair 2012, the Chianciano Biennale 2013 and published in Volume II of International Contemporary Artists 2011.
