Artist, photographer, wife… Behind the artist name Syzy Embo (born Suzanne-Thérèse Seuntjens, in 1936) lies a privileged witness to the post-War Belgian avant-garde. Embo’s graphic and high-contrast photographs connect her with the Subjective Photography of Steinert, who used pure photographic techniques for the sake of personal expression.
In the 1960s, her work underwent a sea change : poised somewhere between artiste photographe and photographe d’artistes. Embo defriended Cobra artistic work, she trained her lens on the international art scene. The photographer creates informal, intimate portraits, recorded artists at work – such as Pierre Alechinsky, Christian Dotremont, Jean Messagier – collaborated on projects and documented previews plays, dance performances and other events.
