Does TIME – which has been – still exist? Does TIME – which will be – exist if it is not there yet? What is TIME? The moment the question is posed, it has already passed. Carine Van Gerven plays with dual TIME in her work. Attributes, ornaments and clothing used in compositions of her photographs point to famous 17th-century genre paintings. Her creations are remarkably modern. The scenes tell current personal life stories and events. Attributes are chosen with care to frequently and subtly humour the story behind each composition – a story which could happen now, in the past or in the future
