The Matrix Project comprises two contexts, namely photographic work of architect Thierry Lagrange and the self-reflective trajectory that he developed during his doctorate at KULeuven. Lagranges practice-based research developed to an autonomous artistic project, in which he studied the signification and nature of observation within a creative process. Through his multifaceted practice as an architect, photographer and researcher, Lagrange developed The Matrix Method; a method that stimulates creativity within different contexts and can be implemented for example in art education. For the Matrix Project, 25 years worth of photographs was entered into a context of research and presents a new perspective on different ways of seeing in our present visual culture.
