Hallucinations:
The series "Hallucinations" by Evert Bongers allows us an insight into his mind.
He investigates an unknown and fascinating world in which reason has no role.
Evert Bongers is searching for a pure, magical, sometimes religious imagination of the subconscious.
The works are largely determined by signs and lines arising from the spontaneous
outbreak of what is going on in his mind.
The dancing camera only follows the spiritual "orders".
Wandering in the soul is an inexhaustible source for him.
In the course of his development as an artist, Evert Bongers increasingly expresses
emotion in lyrical abstraction.

Evert Bongers lives and works in Maastricht.
After completing his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Maastricht, he worked for several years as a photographer for art institutions and galleries.
He makes, among others, reports of Marlene Dumas, Bertrand Lavier, Martin Kippenberger, William Wegman, Christian Boltanski, and Mimo Palladino.
Bongers develops more and more as an art photographer, wins prizes, and begins to exhibit his work nationally and internationally.
Besides that, he worked in the eighties and nineties on projects for Stuyvesant in Cuba, Ballantine's Whisky in Scotland, and Philips Lighting in the Netherlands.
In recent years, he mainly focused on art photography.
Evert Bongers signed in 2012 a 5-year contract with gallery Photology in Milan, resulting in exhibitions, together with Vic Muniz, Martin Parr, Elisabetta Benassi, Andrea Jemolo, Mario Cresci, Davide Bramante, Matthew Pillsbury, and Yasumasa Morimura.
From 2013, after an armed robbery at his home, a shift took place in his work.
Evert Bongers then primarily focuses on exploring the tension between poetry and suspense, within photography and film.
