Seppe Vancraywinkel - Within the Bubble of Surroundings

First and foremost, ‘Within the Bubble of Surroundings’ is an ode to friendship. Belgian photographer Seppe Vancraywinkel imagines himself and his friends as moving through life inside a bubble that assumes form whenever they are together. In that space, he finds solace and refuge, for the bubble is impervious to the demanding clamour of the outside world. This series of photographs documents spontaneous moments in which both visual and affirmative traces of the bubble can be discerned. As such, it offers insight into an evolving yet firm friendship in which notions of time, space, adulthood, masculinity, and intimacy are intuitively reconfigured in a playful manner.
