Since 2006, the Centre for Fine Arts (BOZAR) has been placing numerous partners from the world of creative photography and related media in the spotlight during this biennial event. Indeed, the Brussels Summer of Photography now features on the international photography calendar. From a theme that is addressed by the central exhibition in the Centre for Fine Arts, the programme branches out both spatially and in terms of content.

The central exhibition is open spaces / secret places. Works from the SAMMLUNG VERBUND, Vienna. While the collaboration with this Viennese collection already made for a popular edition back in 2014 with gender equality as its theme, this year curator Gabriele Schor is focusing on the relationship between people and the public space. The artists appropriate specific spaces through the medium of photography. Their artistic interventions and personal outlook influence how we as observers experience different surroundings. It is often hard to distinguish between the two atmospheres as the public and private domain come to light.
