Belgian Blue Blood, 2016<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

Rip Hopkins<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

“The portrait of the aristocrat is an art that is practiced less and less. In literature, in cinema, in the visual arts, apart from a few rare specimens, one cannot say that the subject is of interest. From time to time, a documentary appears, defending or denouncing an aspect of the aristocracy, and we are then forced to have an opinion. On the newsstands, a few social magazines feature a glamorous and phantasmagorical aristocracy. While in universities, rare historians and sociologists carefully observe the aristocracy and its demographic decline.<\/p>\n

Here we are in front of 96 photographs of Belgian aristocrats and 28 photographs of details of their lives. The author of this series is neither a scientist nor a journalist. There is no rational criterion of sociological sampling or objective of information, praise or denunciation. Rip Hopkins does not respond to any commission: neither from the people photographed, nor from a cultural, scientific, political institution, nor from a private company. It is an autonomous artistic approach.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Having broken with the practice of portraiture, the photographer wanted to perpetuate, in his time, the art of portraiture of the aristocrat, in the country where he lives: Belgium. He brings together a democratic medium (photography) and a community of people whose relationship to the image is as old as the link to name and blood.<\/p>\n

In this digital, selfies, facebook era, what is the value of a photo portrait today? Hyper-consumable, our digital reflections are less and less fixed on a material support, they volatilize and multiply infinitely.”<\/p>\n

(Extract from the text Aristocracy, millennium three by Pauline de La Boulaye in Belgian Blue Blood. Rip Hopkins, \u00e9ditions Filigranes, France, 2015).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
