Girl watching Man watching Girl watching Books in a House like a Book. The photographs of this book were taken at ‘Huis Van Wassenhove’, one of the most important examples of brutalist private architecture in Belgium. But if this villa is known for its open structure, the whole photo series of Tine Guns contradictorily emphasizes the feeling of being trapped. You can’t escape the gaze. We see the shadows of the trees on the outside of the building, inviting us to take a look inside. The readers have to become voyeurs themselves to find clues of what’s going on. Time passes, the shadows of the trees are moving. The Book becomes the house. The Collector is a meta-book on photography and voyeurism and the male gaze versus the female one.

Le drapeau belge est divisé en trois et chaque couleur représente la couverture d’un magazine, chacun avec son propre thème: le silence – le roi – la mort. Les images de la vie et mort de Baudouin se succèdent, s’agencent dans trois éditions (silence – le roi – est mort) qui se complètent, mais ne dépendent pas l’une de l’autre. Elles forment toutes ensemble un récit, mais chacune vit par elle même. Au final, ce sont quatre histoires qui sont livrées au public. A lui de décider laquelle il veut connaître. L’archivage par Tine Guns de journaux et de magazines qui suivirent la mort du Roi en 1993, a constitué la base de cette coopération entre elle et Anne Fontenelle. Une coopération entre flamands et wallons de même génération qui prend tout son sens autour de l’un des rares souvenirs collectifs de ce pays.

A remarkable piece of bookdesign by the hand of Tine Guns, in collaboration with Anne Fontenelle, is called ‘Silence, le Roi est mort’ -‘Silence, the King is dead’, in which they have turned (recently) a childhood collection of clippings, into a tricolore threefold booklet using the real pantone colours of the Belgian flag. One colour for each of the three booklets. It is an angled publication with many layers for interpretation. The at that time still ultrayoung Tine made a massive amount of clippings to the occasion of the time of death of King Baudouin of Belgium. The booklet reflects, about 2 decades later, on the mass hysteria and the intense feelings many Belgians had on this departing. To many it must have felt as a goodbye to an era, an era of some kind of innocence maybe. The fact that, at his early age already, Tine collected these clippings so methodically, shows her generalist and objective interest in worldly things, later on to develop, into becoming the artist as which we know her now, still collecting, reflecting, cataloging and displaying…, with dash and endeavour.
