The exhibition highlights how Vanderperre’s fascination with youth has been a motivational force for almost three decades. In dialogue with his photographs he selected several artworks that have been an important source of inspiration in the ongoing development of his universe. The overview of his photographic practice explores the evolution of its visual language, as well as the years of collaboration with Olivier Rizzo and Raf Simons.

Consistent with his identification with youth and subcultures, Willy Vanderperre has developed an associated programme with film, music and the launch of his limited collectible items in the form of drops, which are for sale at the exhibition entrance. Proceeds from sales will in part be donated to Çavaria, the Flemish advocacy group for LGBTI+ people. Çavaria is committed to the well-being, equal rights, and equal opportunities of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex individuals.
On the occasion of the exhibition, the book WILLY VANDERPERRE prints, films, a rave and more... is published by Lannoo.
