wIm hrmns (Neerpelt, °1981) started his creative universe byWM in 2015, nurtured by a strong connection with the performing arts – from concerts and theatre to ballet. As a photographer, he captures the intensity of the moment: the interplay of light and movement, the tension between silence and explosion. Always searching for the intersection where artistic expression and documentation meet.

As a visual artist, he explores the interaction between colour and moving image, placing emphasis on the tactile.
By combining various media and techniques, wIm translates the rhythm and colour of video into visual compositions that are both tactile and naïvely still.

What fascinates wIm is what happens when you slow it all down. Video plays at 25 frames per second or more — each frame gone before it registers. But when you pause and look frame by frame, details and shapes emerge that were always there, invisible in motion. That moment of stillness inside the rush is where his work lives.

Each visual is unique and will never be reproduced.

Although every work stands on its own, they remain intrinsically connected to the video and to one another.
This sense of connection extends to the owners: anyone who holds a artwork shares a lasting relationship with the complete work and with the other owners.

This forms a subtle network of shared time, image, and involvement
