Théo Hennequin

Théo Hennequin is a Brussels-based graphic designer and visual artist with a conceptually driven practice spanning culture, music and sport. He collaborates with institutions, artists, festivals and collectives, from major museums to independent structures, to articulate distinctive positions across print, digital and motion.

His practice is rooted in the circulation of images and forms between swiss rigour, experimental layering and popular cultures, from the football stand to the mountain trail, using the distance between them as a space for inquiry.

About

Achronie

2021, Zinal

A photograph of a snow-covered Alpine village, nestled at the foot of the high Swiss mountains. The chalets and buildings are covered in snow. Several shots of the landscape and architecture are superimposed as transparent layers, creating an effect of duplication and a sense of a time shift. The image features a palette of pale, grey and bluish tones.

Achronie is a project comprising family photographic archives from a single location, spanning several decades. The central concept is that of ‘achronie’ – that sensation of suspended time in which past, present and future seem to coexist.

This idea is visually expressed through a ghostly aesthetic. The colours are muted, almost ethereal, and the superimposition of photographs creates overlapping temporal layers, like memories intertwining within the frame. The superimpositions, partial blurs and chromatic shifts mean that each image becomes both frozen and in motion, oscillating between presence and absence.

A photographic diptych depicting snow-covered Alpine landscapes in Zinal, Switzerland. On the left, a steep-sided valley surrounded by snow-capped peaks, with a few isolated buildings in the foreground. On the right, a panorama of snow-covered mountains and rocky ridges. The two photographs, with their cool, washed-out tones, feature subtle overlays that evoke different moments in time within the same landscape.
A panoramic photograph of a vast Swiss high-mountain landscape: snow-capped peaks, rocky ridges and a glacial expanse fill the entire frame. Several shots of the massif are superimposed with transparency, revealing discrepancies between the relief and the mountain lines. The diffused light and the shades of white, grey and pale blue reinforce the impression of a landscape suspended in time.
