Brief Summary
“Liesbet Waegemans is part of a younger generation of Flemish artists putting the spotlight on their own lives, bodies and trials to criticise the society spinning around them at increasingly dizzying speeds. […] They might be called the voices of a selfie generation, one that is trying to cope with the digital age and borderline times they live in, but also shows a deep longing for simplicity and authenticity. It is by mirroring their own pain that they point out the weaknesses of society; it’s by sharing it with others that their art becomes relevant, with the socially committed installations and photographs of Waegemans a particularly strong example of this larger dimension.” (Tom Peeters, Flanders Today)
