Belgi\u00eb is een land van grenzen \u2014 taalkundige, culturele, politieke \u2014 en het is in die tussenruimtes dat iets eigens stilletjes wortel schiet. Het is geen toeval dat het surrealisme hier een van zijn vruchtbaarste bodems vond. Magritte schilderde gewone objecten ontdaan van hun logica. Delvaux liet vertrouwde taferelen ronddrijven in dromerig licht. Er is iets in de Belgische blik dat instinctief het vreemde vindt dat zich verborgen houdt in het alledaagse.<br \/>\nNaast de foto&#8217;s van De Ridder een tweede oeuvre: een Vlaams familiealbum uit de TinyGallery-collectie, dat bijna een eeuw gewoon leven beslaat \u2014 van de jaren tien tot de jaren zestig. Het licht verandert. Maar er blijft iets bestaan \u2014 een bepaalde manier van de wereld bewonen, bescheiden en particulier, die moeilijk te defini\u00ebren en onmogelijk te verwarren is.<br \/>\nDie hardnekkigheid, misschien, is Belgitude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wout De Ridder reist door Belgi\u00eb met een analoge middenformaatcamera en richt zijn lens op het terloopse en onopgemerkte \u2014 een vervaagde winkelpui, een object langs de weg zonder duidelijk doel, een muur die te vaak is geverfd.
