PHOTOGRAPHER CHRISTOPHE GILBERT
Born in Brussels in 1962, Christophe Gilbert started by taking courses of photography to the Academy of Ixelles in the course of the evening during one year. He integrates then the professional millieu in the capacity as assistant, posts that he will hold during two years, which enables him to discover the sector of publicity. The CCB Awards (Creative Club of Belgium), whose objective is to precede and promote the Belgian creativity, reward it in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005. Its Levis countryside was retained in Photograph Awards 2005 of the AOP. In the same way, the public could discover its creations with the AD Print Festival 2006 of Brasov (Romania). It currently works on a personal project on the topic of the heritage.
Alot of people always ask me what Epidemy means, and my answer to them always is “Epidemy is an epidemic”. Then they say to me, “An epidemic of what?” And that question always seems to catch me off guard. When I created Epidemy at first I wanted people to thing epitome, but the word did not look visually appealing nor did I want people to think I was arrogant. Epidemy looked more appealing visually and I thought the meaning of that word was more of what I wanted to do. But an epidemic of what is what I have been stuck on. I don’t want people to think of a bad epidemic like AIDS or cancer of the Black Plague, I want Epidemy to mean: new ideas, focusing more on being a leader and not being led.
I want to start an epidemic that will break down all the norms of what everyone thinks are popular, and help people understand that they do have their own voice.
