Sofie Knijff (1972)
Sofie Knijff is inspired by stories that touch the unreal. Her theatrical background is still visible in the way she focuses on details from reality or the way she creates her own reality. She is the director of her own images. For her series Assenois she visited her family in the Belgian Ardennes, a landscape that inspires her endlessly and where time seems to stand still. Fascinated by the tradition, she photographed her family during the annual haunting season. In 2007 Sofie van Dam graduated from the Photo Academy in Amsterdam, the same year in which she won the Dutch Photo Academy Award 2007 (category Volkskrant Magazine en THEY).
HUP Gallery mostly shows work of established photographers. Many times we have been asked about the star of the future. That's why we decided to organise a weekend in which we show the work of four very talented photographers. This weekend is the perfect chance to buy the work of the future stars, photographers that are at the beginning of a very promising career.
The first buyers are stimulated with a discount of 10%. Besides that we offer special, very affordable editions. On Saturday and Sunday there will be a bookstore with photo books of 'young' photographers, a portfolio review and a workshop for children.
Opening: Friday 5th from 17.30 till 22.00 hours with dj.
